    RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

    COVID-19 Antibody Rapid Test Results

    IgG and IgM POSITIVE (left): Both the test lines and the quality control line are colored in the COVID-19 IgM/IgG Antibody Test Cassette.

    IgG POSITIVE (middle): Two lines appear on the COVID-19 IgM/IgG Antibody Test Cassette. One coloured line appears in the control line region, and another coloured line appears in the IgG test line region. The result is positive for SARS-CoV-2 specific-IgG antibodies.

    IgM POSITIVE (right): Two lines appear on the COVID-19 IgM/IgG Antibody Test Cassette. One coloured line appears in the control line region, and another coloured line appears in the IgM test line region. The result is positive for SARS-CoV-2 specific-IgM antibodies.

    INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient sample volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test cassette.

    COVID-19 Antibody Rapid Test Results

    NEGATIVE: One coloured line appears in the control region. No apparent coloured line appears in the IgG or IgM test region.
