Randox unveils SARS-CoV-2 antibody test to determine previous COVID-19 infection in just 1.5 hours

Randox Laboratories is proud to announce the launch of its new SARS-CoV-2 IgG test, utilising patented Randox Biochip Technology to simultaneously detect IgG antibodies that are reactive to both of the leading COVID-19 diagnostic antigens – Spike Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) and Nucleocapsid protein (NP).

Maximum test sensitivity is ensured through simultaneous detection of both RBD-only and NP-only responders, making it superior to current commercially available COVID-19 IgG tests that are based on RBD or NP alone, from which false negative results can occur.

The Randox SARS-CoV-2 IgG (RBD & NP) Array provides clinicians with an opportunity to discriminate vaccinated individuals from those naturally infected by COVID-19.

Lynsey Adams, Randox Clinical Marketing Manager commented;

“When there is little or no access to molecular testing, serology tests provide a means to quickly triage suspected cases of COVID-19, enabling appropriate case management, and guiding public health measures, such as quarantine or self-isolation.

 “The new Randox SARS-CoV-2 IgG (RBD & NP) Array, provides a unique insight into disease severity, is an established method of indirect disease diagnosis, and facilitates epidemiological surveillance as the COVID-19 pandemic progresses.”

 The Randox SARS-CoV-2 IgG (RBD & NP) Array has been developed for the Evidence Investigator, a semi-automated benchtop immunoassay analyser delivering accurate results in just 1.5 hours.

Features of the new Randox SARS-CoV-2 IgG (RBD & NP) Array

• Utilises established diagnostic antigen candidates – RBD and NP
• IgG measurement confirms adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2
• Clinical specificity of 99.5%
• Clinical sensitivity of 100% ≥ 14 days post SARS-CoV-2 PCR confirmation
• Dual sample matrix: human serum/plasma.
