COVID-19 Rapid Antibody Test (60 Minute Results)
The COVID-19 antibody test measures the IgM and IgG “immunoglobin” or “antibody” in an individual’s blood for COVID. Approximately two drops of blood are required to perform the antibody test. The blood is obtained by administering a finger poke. You may experience slight discomfort during this process. In addition, there is a minor risk of infection at the site of the puncture. In the event of a suspected infection at the puncture site, clean the area, treat it with topical antibiotic and cover it with a band aid. If the site does not improve, consult your primary care physician.

Upon obtaining the sample, it is placed in a test cassette for processing. The test results are generally available within fifteen (15) minutes. Like all laboratory testing, there is a risk of an inaccurate result. While we feel confident in the testing data, this is a new test that has not yet been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration and the results are not guaranteed.

Rapid COVID-19 Test (60 Min Result)

A COVID-19 test result in just 20 minutes? Yes! Covid Clinic is proud to be one of the first testing sites to offer the Quidel Corporation Lyra Direct SARS-CoV-2 Assay. This test has received Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA. Data published on the FDA’s website suggests this test has specificity of 80% and sensitivity of 100%. This test is great for quickly screening individuals for an active COVID-19 infection.

The tip of the cotton swab is inserted into one nostril. The swab does not need to be inserted far – just until the cotton tip of the swab is no longer visible. The swab is then rotated in a circle around the entire inside edge of the nostril at lease three times.

The possible benefits of a COVID-19 test are that the results can help your medical provider make informed recommendations about your care, and the results may help to limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in the community.
