Detecting Three Types of Antigens in Just Five Minutes

Launching the SARS-CoV-2/Flu (Types A/B)Diagnostic Kit
Helping Reduce Bottlenecking in Medical Settings by Shortening Test Times

Primal Screen®SARS-CoV-2/Flu is a diagnostic kit that simultaneously measures three types of antigens , SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus (types A/B) in five minutes using a nasopharyngeal or nasal swab as the sample.

This product has been designed by adopting the new form, "sealed dipping". It is an advanced form of the "dipping" and does not require the user to dispense drops of samples. The "dipping" type, which involves a test stick to be inserted into the extracted sample, does not require any dispensing of the sample,making testing simple and easy.On the other hand, it has the disadvantage of the sample being prone to adhering to fingers and other such surfaces, due to the exposed result window.

The "sealed dipping" model however, resolved this flaw by covering the result window with a case, while still keeping the benefits of the "dipping" format. In addition, by sealing the test stick with an attached tube cap, infection due to sample spillage or leakage is prevented.

The test result is determined by the presence or absence of a line that appears in the result window of the test stick after it has been inserted into the sample and left to stand for five minutes. The multi-colored result window makes it easy to determine the results for the three types of antigens.
