How it works
Overview
The Rapid Antigen NG08 Test is a sputum and nasopharyngeal kit. This kit comes with the sputum sampling accessories as well as the nasopharyngeal sampling accessories. Each kit contains a single test.
It’s incredibly simple to administer and take just seconds to get the sample and gives you results in just 3 to 15 minutes. All without the need to send anything to the lab. It’s ideal for the workplace and testing employees.
It’s simple to use
Firstly, decide which sample method you would like to use. In this kit you can choose to use either the sputum kit or the nasopharyngeal kit.
Using the Sputum Kit
1. Have the patient take a deep breath, and expectorate deep cough sputum into the paper cup or a sputum container. Note: If the patient has eaten or drunk just before sample collection, rinse the mouth with clean water.
2. Use the sputum dropper to transfer 0.6 mL of the sputum sample into sample extraction tube. The dropper draws up 0.3 mL sample at a time. Perform the sample transfer procedure twice.
3. Peel off the aluminium foil seal from a sample extraction tube.
4. Transfer 0.6 mL sputum sample into sample extraction tube. Note: Sputum is highly viscous. Please strictly follow the instructions described above. Adding excessive or insufficient sputum sample may cause inaccurate results.
5. Squeeze the dropper 5 times to mix the sputum sample with sample extraction solution.
6. Insert the tube cap firmly on the sample extraction tube. Put the tube still for 1 minute to release viral antigens.
Using the Nasopharyngeal Kit
1. Tilt the patient’s head back slightly for about 70°.
2. Gently insert the sampling swab into a nostril straight back (not upwards), along the floor of the nasal passage until reaching the posterior wall of the nasopharynx – generally one half the distance from the corner of the nose to the front of the ear (about 4 to 6 cm or 1.6 – 2.5 inches). Note: Do not force swab – if an obstruction is encountered, try the other nostril.
3. Gently rub and roll the swab for 5 times, and pull out the swab slowly.
4. Peel off the aluminum foil seal from a sample extraction tube.
5. Place the swab into sample extraction tube. Use the swab to stir in the solution at least 5 times.
6. Squeeze the sample extraction tube, and move the swab up and down for at least 3 times to expel any sample solution from the swab. Discard the swab properly.
7. Insert the tube cap firmly on the sample extraction tube.
Testing Procedure
Restore the test devices and specimens to room temperature (15-30°C or 59-86°F) prior to testing.
1. Flick the bottom of the tube to mix sample solution.
2. Take out a test card from an aluminium foil pouch. Place the test card on a table. Hold the tube upside down vertically. Squeeze the tube to expel 3 drops of the sample solution into the loading well on a test card.
3. You can usually read the result at 3 to 15 minutes. However, you can read it from 15 to 30 minutes. The result is considered inaccurate and invalid after 30 minutes. Note: DO NOT reload sample solution to the loading well of a used test card.
Reading the Results
Positive(+): Red bands appear at both of T and C line in 15 to 30 minutes.
Negative(-): A red band appears at C line while no red band appears at T line in 15 to 30 minutes after sample loading.
Invalid: As long as no red band appears at C line, it indicates that the test result is invalid, and should retest the sample with another test card.
Ideal for Organisations
Detect COVID-19 when people are most contagious, it’s ideal for conducting regular tests on your workforce to reduce the risk of it spreading amongst your team.

Product Name COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kit
Box Contents 25 test kits per box
Intended Use This product is suitable for the qualitative detection of novel coronavirus in nasopharyngeal swab or sputum samples. It provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with novel coronavirus.
Summary The novel coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease. People are generally susceptible. Currently, the patients infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection; asymptomatic virus carriers can also be infectious sources. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days. The main manifestations include fever, fatigue and dry cough. Nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia and diarrhoea are also found in some cases.
The Science The COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kit is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2. The test strip is composed of the following parts: namely sample pad, reagent pad, reaction membrane, and absorbing pad. The reagent pad contains the colloidal-gold conjugated with the monoclonal antibody against the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2; the reaction membrane contains the secondary antibodies for nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2. The whole strip is fixed inside a plastic device. When the sample is added into the sample well, conjugates absorbed in the reagent pad are dissolved and migrate along with the sample. If SARS-CoV-2 antigen is present in the sample, the complex of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 conjugate and the virus will be captured by the specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies coated on the test line region (T). Absence of the T line suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a red line will always appear in the control line region (C) indicating that proper volume of sample has been added and membrane wicking effect has occurred.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE Limit of Detection (LoD): the LoD of this product is about 0.05 ng/mL SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein solution.
Sensitivity, Specificity & Total Accuracy The product performance was evaluated with clinical specimens, taking commercial RT-PCR kit as the gold standard.
Storage and Stability
Store the product package at temperature 2-30°C or 38-86°F, and avoid exposure to sunlight. The kit is stable within the expiration date printed on the labelling.
Once an aluminium foil pouch is opened, the test card inside should be used within one hour. Prolonged exposure to hot and humid environment may cause inaccurate results.
The lot number and the expiration date are printed on the labelling.
