Simple and quick? Steps similar to PCR test?
"TEST METHODS
The test should be operated at room temperature(15-30?).
1. Place the extraction tube with opening facing up. Press the extraction solution bottle to
drip 6 drops of extract solution into the extractor tube without touching the edge of the
tube.
2. The extraction of specimen: Put the swab had collected specimen into the extraction
tube, hold and press the swab head against the wall of tube with force while rotating the
swab for about 10 seconds to release the antigen into the extraction solution from the swab
head.
3. Removing swab: Squeeze the swab head while removing the swab in order to remove
as much liquid as possible from the swab. Dispose of swabs according to biohazard waste
disposal regulations.
4. Install the nozzle cap onto the extraction tube.
5. Loading: drip 2 drops of extraction solution into the sample well of the test cartridge,
and start the timer.
6. Read the results at 20~30 minutes. Strong positive results can be reported at 20 minutes,
however, negative results must be reported after 30 minutes. If positive signal appears after
30 minutes, it should not be reported as positive.
