Specimen collection
  1. Completely insert the sterilized swab supplied in this kit into the nasal basin. This helps ensure a high quality sample.
  2. Swab several times to collect the epidermal cells of the mucus.
Sample preparation procedure
  1. Insert the test extraction tube into the tube stand. Make sure that the tube is firmly seated.
  2. Add 0.3 mL (about 10 drops) of the sample extraction buffer into the extraction tube.
  3. Place the swab specimen in the extraction buffer tube. Rotate the swab for approx. 10 secs while pressing the head against the inside of the tube. This releases the antigen in the swab.
  4. Remove the swab pressing the head against the inside of tube as you remove it to expel as much liquid as possible from the swab.
  5. Screw on and tighten the cap onto the specimen collection tube.
  6. Discard the swab in accordance with your biohazard waste disposal protocol.
Test procedure
  1. Add 3 drops of the solution (approx.80ul) to the sample well and then start the timer.
  2. After 10 minutes the result is visible. Read the results 10~20 minutes. After 20 minutes the results are invalid.
