Workplace
COVID-19 Testing
Employers are under more pressure than ever to protect the health and safety of their employees
Uncompromised on-site testing with the LumiraDx Platform delivers fast, accurate antigen testing. Rapidly identify potentially contagious spreaders on the spot, reducing the risk of a local outbreak & the potential impact on your operations, helping to build employee confidence
"It’s time to change how we think about the sensitivity of testing for COVID-19."1
The benefits of uncompromised on-site testing with LumiraDx
- Less-sensitive lateral flow antigen tests2-4 increase the risk of an infectious employee getting a negative result.
False negatives leave the door open for contagious persons to slip through (i.e., goes to work rather than flagged for isolation) - ‘Swab and send’ delays time needed to get to actionable results
- PCR can remain positive up to 12 weeks after period of infectivity5
#Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be considered in the context of an individual’s recent exposures, history and presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Results should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or case management decisions, including infection control decisions
**Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status
SARS-CoV-2 Portfolio
Easy to implement on-site at point of care

- Time to result in as quick as 12 minutes
- Compact and portable instrument with connectivity options
High sensitivity Assay
- Optimal sensitivity to rapidly detect potentially infectious individuals to prevent onward transmission
Bring the lab to you
- No need to send employees off site
- Get the data to inform your decisions on safety and reopening at a micro and macro level
- COVID-19 testing dedicated to your specific needs
LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test
- LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test demonstrates high sensitivity at Ct<336
- LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test can detect 10-30% cases potentially missed by antigen lateral flow tests7-11
- PCR can still be positive long after period of infectivity, leading to misidentification of infective individuals5
- SARS-CoV-2 Ag correlates with culture better than PCR for aiding in the identification of infective individuals12
- LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test provides high detection of potentially infective individuals to break the chain of transmission
SARS-CoV-2
Pool Test
- Test up to 5 people using 1 test
- Quickly and easily scale up testing: Low-cost diagnostic screening solutions
- Maximize resources: Pooled testing can improve access to testing by significantly reducing resources (tests, operators, instruments) required on a per patient basis
- Save Time and cost: Pooled testing can result in a savings in both time and cost
SARS-CoV-2 Ab Test
The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ab Test is designed to be used in point of care settings to identify individuals who have antibodies to SARS-CoV-2
The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ab assay identifies antibodies to two viral regions that are primary targets for neutralising antibodies.
Knowing the COVID-19 antibody status of a workplace may allow employers and organisers to mitigate risk and make better informed choices on both micro and macro levels.
