Serological Testing :  Rapid antibody tests

Rapid serological testing Covid-19 
Rapid antibody IgM– IgG test

Healgen 

This IgM-IgG combined antibody test is used for the rapid qualitative and differential detection of IgG and IgM antibodies of the novel coronavirus in human serum, plasma or whole blood in vitro. These proteins indicate that a person’s immune system has responded to infection with the COVID-19 virus. By using biomarkers from the body’s immune response to SARS-CoV-2 virus instead of looking for the virus itself, the test can help determine if a person has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus even after the virus is no longer present. The sensitivity of IgM test is 87,9% and specificity is 100% compared to the RT-PCR. The sensitivity of IgG test is 97,2% during the convalescence period, and specificity is 100%.

Automated serological test kits on immunoassays analyzers
Beckman Coulter Assay

In general virus infection behavior, an IgM assay will give information about current or recent infection; while IgG will, in addition, also give information about a more sustainable immune response. These two pieces of the infection story blur together when the patient takes a combined, or total IgM and IgG test. Because seroconversion is such a highly individualized journey, separate SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG tests can provide greater insight into where the patient is at in their infection timeline

Virus Detection : Rapid Antigen tests

OrientGene®/HEALGEN® COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test

The Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test Cassette (Swab) is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens directly or after the swabs have been added to viral transport media from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider. It is intended to aid in the rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Disease Monitoring


Covid-19 patient monitoring with ivd tests 

BECKMAN chemistry and immunoassay.  

To assess the severity and progression of COVID-19, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing is critical. IVD tests can also help monitor and adjust treatment.
Beckman Coulter is proud to offer a "Menu That Matters" through their automated chemistry and immunoassay solutions. The assays will be designed for use on any of its high- throughput Access family of immunoassay systems, including the Access 2 and DxI series installed globally.

Immune status monitoring of a patient
Beckman Flow Cytometry AQUIOS

Aquios of Beckman-Coulter is the first fully automatic flow cytometer from the primary tube to the final result.
Fast: The sample is automatically prepared and analyzed. The results is ready after about 20 minutes.
Safe: The system is closed and automatic. The risk of contamination of the user is very low.
Easy to use: A simple training is sufficient to use the system. There is no need for extensive knowledge of the flow cytometer.
Aquios is the safest solution to monitor the immune status of the B, T lymphocytes, the NK and  the monocytes.
