COVID-19 Antibody
This test will accurately measure the levels of COVID-19 antibodies in your blood. This will indicate previous infection or a successful vaccination.
Is this test for you?
COVID-19 is a notoriously tricky virus to predict, with antibody levels rapidly declining after infection or vaccination. Therefore many of our customers use this antibody test to check if they still have antibodies from previous infection or vaccination. Furthermore, some customers are unaware of their antibody status and use this test to check if they have previously been infected with the virus and have developed immunity.
Additional Information
A new blood test for the COVID-19 virus is now available. The test, developed by the company Cepheid, uses a molecular assay to detect the presence of antibodies to the virus in human blood. The test is fast and accurate, and can be used to diagnose COVID-19 in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
The COVID-19 antibody blood test is currently available only to healthcare providers. However, Cepheid plans to make the test available to the public in the near future. So far, the test has been shown to be highly accurate, with a negative predictive value of 99.9%. This means that if the test results are negative, it is almost certain that the person does not have the COVID-19 virus.
The COVID-19 antibody blood test offers a fast, accurate way to detect the virus in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. It is also highly sensitive, meaning that it can detect even low levels of the virus. This makes it a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing COVID-19 outbreaks.
