COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease that has killed over 128,000 people in the UK and infected over 4.49 milion others.

Despite the UK’s strong vaccination program, the pandemic is not over yet. Coronavirus cases are still spreading, particularly among asymptomatic people. According to the NHS, around one in every three people are asymptomatic, meaning that they have Coronavirus but do not display any symptoms.

To this end, the government is encouraging everyone who is eligible to order a lateral flow COVID 19 test kit. You can also take a private COVID test if you suspect that you have the virus. According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19’s incubation period is 5-6 days on average, but this can go up to 14 days. Studies show that the virus is most infectious within 3 days of showing symptoms. The main symptoms of the disease include a new or continuous dry cough, a loss of taste or smell, fatigue, and a temperature or fever. During the acute phase of the COVID-19 infection, antigens are generally detectable in the upper respiratory tract in the nose and throat. Rapid diagnoses of COVID-19 will help healthcare professionals treat patients, control the virus, more importantly, save lives. The Healgen COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test is used to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It detects the presence of Coronavirus proteins in a sample drawn from the surface of the posterior nasopharynx and gives results in as little as 15 minutes. This test requires health expertise to carry out and interpret results, you cannot buy a COVID 19 test kit and do it in the privacy of your home.

FAQs

Healgen Lateral Flow Test Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is antigen testing?

Healgen Antigen tests are used to detect proteins specific to a virus that appear in infected individuals. If a patient has antigens detected in a sample, it means a viral infection is present. 

In the case of COVID 19, the Healgen lateral flow test detects Coronavirus proteins in a sample obtained from the nose . 

You can order a home COVID test kit here for self testing.

What is a lateral flow test?

A lateral flow test kit works by taking a sample from the nose or back of the throat via a swab. This swab is then tested for the presence of certain antigens. Lateral flow is simply the technology used in the test and its function is quite similar to that of a pregnancy test.  You can buy Covid 19 test kit in the UK this test must be carried out by a medical professional. 

How quickly does the Healgen lateral flow test produce results?

A lateral flow test like a Healgen rapid antigen test can provide a visual result in just 15 minutes. This allows quick identification of positive cases so that people can self-isolate sooner and reduce the risk of transmission. Any positive lateral flow test should be confirmed by a government-approved PCR test, and this can be arranged by calling NHS 119.

What’s the difference between an antibody and antigen test

A lateral flow antigen test can be used to determine an active case of COVID-19 while an antibody Covid test is used to determine whether you have PREVIOUSLY had COVID-19. They are two completely different tests designed for two completely different purposes. You can order these two types of coronavirus test kits on our website.

Do I need to buy any extra equipment?

No—your COVID test kit comes with everything that you need to carry out your test, and clear instructions are supplied on how to perform the test and interpret its results. Although no specialist knowledge is needed and the UK government has approved lateral flow tests for public use, it’s always recommended that they’re carried out by trained healthcare professionals.

Can I delay certain parts of the test?

No, you should always carry out the full test at a single point in time. If you buy a rapid test kit you should test your specimen immediately after it is collected and no longer than one hour. Results should be interpreted immediately, too.

How can I store my Covid Testing Kits?

An unopened Coronavirus test kit can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated between 2-30 degrees Celsius. You should never freeze your lateral flow antigen test kit. Always allow the test kit to reach room temperature before you use it.

How do I dispose of a used lateral flow test kit?

A lateral flow test can be bagged up and disposed of along with your regular household waste. Stay safe.
