Hughes healthcare Covid-19 Test
The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigen rapid test cassette from Hughes Healthcare (administered via nasal swab) is a quick chromatographic immunoassay for the analytical identification of specific antigens to SARS-CoV-2 found along the mucosa wall of the nasal cavity. This fast lateral flow test for COVID-19 antigen can provide accurate results within as little as 15 minutes when performed properly.
Totally Safe for Domestic Use
Diagnostic accuracy of 96.8% and specificity of 97.1%
Finds new viral strains
Validated by Public Health England Porton Down
UK & EU Home Test Approved
CE-Marked and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Licensed
All UK airports and the NHS use and trust it, as do businesses all around the world.
At the moment, the Hughes healthcare Covid tests are distributed to the governments of the United Kingdom, Spain, Austria, Germany, and France, as well as to all major UK airports, airlines, pharmaceutical firms, corporations, and distributors.
The Hughes Healthcare rapid nasal antigen test has been clinically confirmed to accurately identify symptomatic and asymptomatic patients of COVID-19 and all known forms of the disease. The test has undergone all evaluation phases at Porton Down Laboratory. Public Health England subsequently validated the test, which now bears the CE0123 designation, certifying that it is safe for use in home settings and by individuals throughout the United Kingdom and the European Union. It has been registered with the MHRA, FDA, and WHO for potential emergency usage. Patient specimens were used to assess the relative accuracy of the fast COVID-19 test offered by Hughes Healthcare, and the results demonstrate that the test has a high overall relative accuracy.
Humans have a high susceptibility to COVID-19, an acute respiratory infectious illness. COVID-19 is spreading fast worldwide, with infected patients serving as the primary transmission vectors. The majority of COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic, meaning the infected individuals do not experience any symptoms and spread the virus without realizing they are infected.
Epidemiological studies have found that the incubation period for COVID-19 is between 1 and 14 days, with most infections taking hold within the first 7 days. A dry cough that comes on suddenly or persists, a diminished sense of smell or taste, extreme tiredness, and a high body temperature or fever are the hallmarks of this illness.
CE Certification for Safe Use at Home
While other tests may attempt to incorporate a nasal swab into their procedure, they do not have the necessary clinical evidence. In contrast, our test was developed specifically for this purpose.
Although it is technically a nasopharyngeal test, Innova claims their procedure can be administered on the inside of the nose. However, the results show an accuracy of 40-50% in Birmingham and Liverpool. Healgen is another company claiming that its test can be performed through nasal swabs. Alternatively, you can buy FlowFlex COVID-19 test and see the results for yourself.
Hughes Covid Test Kits – Easy to use testing
The test’s user-friendliness makes it a breeze to administer to yourself and your loved ones in the privacy of your own home.
Normal Test Kit
The standard antigen test kit uses a swab that is inserted 9–10cm into the nasal passage.
hughes Test Kit
The nasal swab in the Hughes antigen test kit only goes in around 1–2 centimetres.
While other nasopharyngeal tests require a doctor’s assistance and swabs to be placed 9–10 cm into the nasal cavity, our tests just need to be placed 1-2 cm into the nose.
We have a patented system for increasing the sensitivity of our lateral flow test, which allows for a more accurate reading of the sample. In contrast, the colloidal gold approach is used in every other test cassette and is far less sensitive for identifying the CoV-SARS-2 antigen. Because of this, our test can be relied upon to provide reliable results regardless of the specimen type or collecting technique used. Buy our antigen tests and check!
Hughes Healthcare Covid-19 test process
STEP 1
To begin, a nasal swab is taken from the patient being tested.
STEP 2
Place the swab into a vial containing 2 ml of Lysis Solution. Swab samples should be thoroughly mixed and compressed to the bottom of the vial before use.
STEP 3
Thoroughly mix the swab and take the test cassette out of its foil sleeve.
STEP 4
A test card is splattered with three to four drops of the sample. In around 15 minutes, you’ll be able to see the outcome.
Results Interpretation
The Hughes healthcare antigen test can be completed in no more than 15 minutes, and the results are interpreted below.
NEGATIVE
A red line indicates a negative result on the Quality Control Line (C-Line) but not on the red line on the Test Line (T-Line).
POSITIVE
A positive result is indicated if both the C-Line and the T-Line exhibit a red line, even faint.
INVALID
Even if there is a red line on the T-Line, the result is VOID if there is no red line on the C-Line; in this case, the test must be repeated.
Each individual test, as well as the swab, lysis vials, and packaging, is of the highest quality and simplicity of use. Everything about the evaluation indicates that this is a top-tier, commercially available product.

With official support from the government, a simple self-administration procedure, and results in as little as 15 minutes, this testing kit is a convenient and painless option. The Hughes antigen test, which Public Health England validated, uses gold nanoshell technology to provide more reliable findings than competing tests. The UK Government’s Porton Down Laboratory, which helps the Department of Health and Social Care examine all lateral flow tests, has confirmed this Hughes antigen test to be highly accurate at numerous viral loads.
Anybody may use this antigen test kit due to the simple approach that doesn’t require you to push a swab too intrusively up your nose as with other tests. You also don’t need to forego taking any foods or drinks 30 minutes prior to the test. Simply dip the swab into the buffer solution and insert it into each nostril for 1–2 centimetres. The Hughes SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid test is so simple to use that the Austrian government has authorized students to take the test on their own at school without the presence of a medical professional.
