Intended use: The AESKU.RAPID SARS-CoV-2 rapid test is an immunochromatographic sandwich method with two specific antibodies for the qualitative detection of the N-protein antigen in human nasal swab samples. The point-of- care test is designed to detect SARS-CoV-2 N-protein antigens detectable during the acute phase of infection. The test should be performed by healthcare professionals familiar with in vitro diagnostic methods and appropriate infection control procedures. Test principle: The AESKU.RAPID SARS-CoV-2 rapid test is based on immunochromatographic polymer technology combined with the sandwich principle for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen in human nasal swab samples. The sample is mixed with colored polymer-labeled SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody 1 in the test device's sample well and chromatographed along the nitrocellulose membrane. If SARS-CoV-2 antigens are present in the sample, they will bind to SARS-CoV-2 antibody 1, and the mixture will bind to immobilized SARS-CoV-2 antibody 2 on the nitrocellulose membrane. The resulting complex of antibody 1, antigen, and antibody 2 forms the colored test line. The test device's control line is coated with secondary antibodies, resulting in a colored result during a standard test procedure.
