SARS-CoV-2
Antibody Test

The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ab Test is a microfluidic immunofluorescence assay for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human whole blood (capillary fingerstick or venous), plasma or serum for indication of recent or prior infection. Used with the LumiraDx Platform the Test delivers rapid results at the point of care.

Test benefits

The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ab Test is designed to be used in community care settings to identify individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection.

  • Easy to implement in point of care settings
  • Clinical agreement (direct fingerstick) in samples collected more than 8 days post RT-PCR
    • 100% (57/57) positive agreement
    • 100% (53/53) negative agreement
  • Time to result in 11 minutes

Test procedure

The Instrument and Test Strips are integrated with several quality control checks to ensure the Instrument and Test Strip are functioning correctly for every test run.

The workflow process is comprised of a simple sample collection with a fingerstick lancet followed by step-by-step guidance of the Instrument to report a patient result in 11 minutes from sample application.
