A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) IgM/IgG antibody was developed for the qualitative detection of human coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in human serum, plasma or whole blood. 2019 the novel coronavirus, the "2019-nCoV", was discovered in 2019 in Wuhan, and was named by WHO in January 12, 2020. Coronavirus is a large virus family, which is known to cause cold, Middle East respiratory syndrome(mers) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and other serious diseases.
The COVID-19 lgG/lgM Rapid Test kit (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay.
The test uses anti-human lgM antibody (test line lgM),anti-human lgG (test line lgG) and goat anti-rabbit lgG (control line C) immobilised on a nitrocellulose strip. The burgundy colored conjugate pad contains colloidal gold conjugated to recombinant COVID-19 antigens conjugated with colloid gold (COVID-19 conjugates) and rabbit IgG-gold conjugates.
When a specimen followed by assay buffer is added to the sample well, IgM &/or lgG antibodies if present, will bind to COVID-19 conjugates making antigen antibodies complex. This complex migrates through nitrocellulose membrane by capillary action. When the complex meets the line of the corresponding immobilized antibody (anti-human lgM &/or anit-human lgG) the complex is trapped forming a burgundy colored band which confirm a reactive test result. Absence of a colored band in the test region indicates a non-reactive test result.
The test contains an internal control (C band) which should exhibit a burgundy colored band of the immunocomplex goat anti rabbit lgG/rabbit IgG-gold conjugate regardless of the color development on any of the test bands. Otherwise, the test result is invalid and the specimen must be retested with another device.
