COVID Antigen Tests

What this page covers

This page covers COVID antigen tests, rapid tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens. The company's category pages list several COVID antigen products at directory level: the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (OTC CE1434), the same cassette in oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal and nasal swab formats, a saliva format, a saliva lolly format, and a SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B antigen combo cassette. Those product names are directory-level evidence from the company's category pages.

The characters CE1434 in the first product name are part of that product's name as listed on the company's website. They are reproduced here only as part of the product name and are not presented as a certificate number or as certification evidence. Certificates are available upon request.

Formats and combinations

Antigen tests in this family are offered in cassette format with different sample types: swab samples, saliva samples and a saliva lolly sample type. Combo tests combine SARS-CoV-2 with influenza A+B in a single cassette, and a further combo listed on the company's category pages combines SARS-CoV-2 with influenza A/B, RSV and adenovirus. Those combinations are category-page listings; no specification table for any COVID antigen product is published on this site, because no title-consistent specification table for those products is published in the company's own material.

Antibody products, including a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody cassette and a COVID-19 IgG/IgM cassette, are listed on the company's category pages as a separate branch of its infectious disease range. They are directory listings on this page's family, not specifications, and availability for any specific product must be confirmed in writing.

What buyers must confirm

For COVID antigen products, availability, market access and documentation vary by product and by destination market, and the company's own material states that market access is subject to written confirmation by the customer. This page therefore makes no statement that any COVID product is sold or accepted in any particular country, and buyers must confirm availability and documentation for their market in writing before ordering.

The company FAQ states that prices vary with supply and market factors, that international orders are subject to an ongoing minimum order requirement with no fixed figure published, that samples take about 7 days, and that mass production takes 20–30 days after deposit. Certificates are available upon request.

Antigen testing in context

Antigen testing sits between laboratory molecular testing and antibody testing. Molecular tests amplify genetic material and are the most sensitive, but they need laboratory equipment and time. Antibody tests detect the body's immune response, which appears later than the pathogen itself. Antigen tests detect pathogen proteins directly and give a rapid visible result, which is why they became the standard format for at-home and point-of-care infectious disease screening.

For trade buyers, that positioning explains both the strength and the limit of antigen tests: they are fast and usable outside laboratories, but their results are screening indications rather than laboratory confirmations. A buyer sourcing antigen tests should understand that positioning before comparing products, because it shapes what customers in each market expect from the test.

Combo tests and their trade-offs

Combo tests cover more than one pathogen in a single test run. The company's range includes a SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B combo and a wider combo that adds RSV and adenovirus. The trade-off of a combo test is breadth against simplicity: one test answers more questions, but its instructions, packing and documentation are more complex, and its availability and market access must be confirmed for each pathogen it covers, not just for the headline pathogen.
