Covid 19 Rapid Test Kits

COVID 19 Rapid Antigen and
Antibody Tests with Results in Minutes

Why Rapid Testing?

Rapid testing is appealing because receiving fast results means a person knows sooner whether they need to self-isolate to avoid transmitting the virus to others. There are three types of COVID-19 tests: Genetic (or molecular) tests, antigen tests, and antibody tests. An increase in rapid testing could help stop the spread of COVID-19.

All our products have undergone a variety of clinal trials with many being supplied all over the globe and have been procured by a number of Governments.

Studies continue to show that a high percentage of people show no clinical symptoms for the COVID-19 virus, making the testing of employees critically important if you are to provide a safe working environment during the pandemic. We supply both Antigen and Antibody testing kit. Both tests, also known as rapid diagnostic tests, are used to diagnose active coronavirus infections and antibodies.

Our Covid-19 Rapid Testing kits can be used for the rapid testing of a range of people including visitors, guests, employees and workforce to identify any active Covid-19 infection. Antigen tests are an ideal screening tool highlighting those who are 'positive' and need to immediately self-isolate whilst protecting those who are 'negative' and able to continue to work or return to work. Hence outbreaks may be prevented by identifying these individuals early and isolating them. An antigen test is ideally suited for the testing of key workers and high-risk groups – including healthcare workers, teachers, food supply workers, and those in transport and logistics.
