Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding the Antibody Detection Kit:
The PCR, or antigen tests are what are currently being used to confirm the contraction of the Coronavirus disease, while the antibody tests specifically checks for the presence of antibodies.
Both refer to different types of antibodies. When a person is initially infected with the virus, IgM is produced within the body. After this initial response, IgG is produced by the immune system. Current tests can detect IgM approximately 6 days after the initial infection.
*There are individual differences in how antibodies are detected.
*There are individual differences in how antibodies are detected.
A “false positive” is when a test appears positive for an antibody detection but it is actually ‘negative’. A “false negative” is when a test appears negative for an antibody detection but it is actually ‘positive’.
*No laboratory tests are ever 100% accurate.
*No laboratory tests are ever 100% accurate.
Antibody detection tests are administered to check for the presence of antibodies. There are a variety of purposes for these tests but are mostly used to investigate the epidemiology of an infection as they are used as reagents for research purposes.
If an antibody test produces a positive result, there is a chance that disease is present. Therefore, it is recommended that a PCR test is taken in these situations.
In medical diagnosis, test sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those with the antibody (true positive rate), whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the antibody (true negative rate). Accuracy is the proximity of measurement results to the true value; Precision is the repeatability, or reproducibility of the measurement.
