The Rapid Antigen Test, also known as a lateral flow test, is a quick and reliable way to test whether you have COVID-19. Like the name suggests, it is the fastest way to test for the presence of the coronavirus. Also a more cost-effective test, the rapid antigen test can give you results in as little as 30 minutes.
The Rapid Antigen test uses a nasal and/or throat swab for testing. The swab is placed into a solution to test for the presence of certain proteins that typically show up when there is a COVID-19 infection. Antigen tests are most effective when there is an active coronavirus infection because they need a certain amount of the virus to be present to trigger a positive result. Because of this, if you receive a positive antigen test then you most likely have COVID-19.
While reliable and fast, the Rapid Antigen test is less sensitive than a PCR test. If you do not have enough of the virus present in your system you may receive a negative test result even if you have COVID-19. If you need a more sensitive test, West Chemist also offers same day and next day PCR tests.
Many countries and regions require proof of a negative COVID-19 test before you can be allowed in and will accept Rapid Antigen test results. Because regulations keep changing, be sure to stay up to date with any requirements your destination country currently has in place.
