Covi-Lab's new rapid test provides an accurate COVID-19 infection detection at home within 10 to 15 minutes.It is widely accepted that IgM provides the first line of defense during viral infections, followed by the generation of adaptive, high-affinity IgG responses for long term immunity and immunological memory. Therefore testing of COVID-19 IgM and IgG antibodies is an effective method for the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, detection of COVID-19 IgM antibodies tends to indicate recent exposure to COVID-19, whereas the detection of COVID-19 IgG antibodies indicates a later stage of infection. Thus, this combined antibody test could also provide information on the stage of infection.
