An Easy to Use Rapid 10-15 minute COVID-19 test using a small blood sample.

With cases of coronavirus COVID-19 disease rising at an unprecedented rate, Avonchem has taken their proven strength in the supply of diagnostic tests, in collaboration with its supply chain partners, to launch a diagnostic test for this virus; a serological rapid screening test.

The virus causing the COVID-19 disease (SARS-CoV-2) is a new pathogen that can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Unlike other infectious disease outbreaks seen so far, the SARS-CoV-2 has proven to spread faster and affect a wider range of population, stretching to every continent, infecting over 115,000 people and causing over 4,200 deaths during the last 3 months alone, and rising. It is vital to diagnose affected patients as quickly as possible for early containment and treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared that COVID-19 is now a pandemic.

WHO declared in the Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) the following:

Development of rapid and accurate point-of-care tests which perform well in field settings are especially useful if the test can be incorporated into presently commercially available multiplex respiratory virus panels. This would markedly improve early detection and isolation of infected patients and by extension, identification of contacts.

Rapid IgM and IgG antibody testing are also important ways to facilitate early diagnosis.

Given the severity of this infection, Avonchem’s response is swift with the launch of an innovative solution to diagnosis, a new Rapid 15-minute Whole Blood COVID-19 Point-of-Care (POC) Test, No Instruments, No technicians necessary, No requirement for a specialised laboratory.

Avonchem’s clinically proven COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is designed for initial screening by detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in either human serum, plasma or whole blood within just 15 minutes. This test is easy-to-use, requires only minimally skilled personnel with basic equipment needs. This COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test has >94% sensitivity and 100% specificity making it one of the most effective screening tests for COVID-19.
