SARS-COV-2 Total Antibody ELISA Kit , 96T

96T

Serum, plasma

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 virus in human serum or plasma specimens.

The components of the kit will remain stable through the expiration date indicated on the label and package when stored between 2-8°C, do not freeze. To assure maximum performance of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody ELISA, during storage, protect the reagents from contamination with microorganism or chemicals.

Clinical validation study of SARS-CoV-2 antibody ELISA was conducted in 2020 in Shenzhen, China. 310 specimens from confirmed COVID-19 patients and 333 specimens from healthy individuals were tested. The kit demonstrated the sensitivity of 94.5% (293/310) and the specificity of 100% (333/333).
Samples were collected from COVID-19 confirmed cases with clinical symptoms, laboratory abnormalities or pulmonary imaging manifestations. No tests have been performed on specimens from latent infections or patients in the incubation period. It was observed that the detection rate of the kit was closely related to the time of disease onset, the kit showed higher positive detection rate in specimens from patients with delayed onset. Therefore, the interpretation of the test results should consider the specimen's collection time.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), kidney failure and death.
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, formerly known as 2019-nCoV and now known as SARS-COV-2, is a new strain of coronavirus that was first identified during an outbreak in Wuhan, China which started in December 2019.

Allow the reagents to reach room temperature (18-30°C). Check the Wash buffer concentrate for the presence of salt crystals. If crystals have formed, resolubilize by warming at 37°C until crystals dissolve. Dilute the Wash buffer (20X) as indicated in the instructions for washing. Use distilled or deionized water and only clean vessels to dilute the buffer. All other reagents are READY TO USE AS SUPPLIED.
