RAPID, PRECISE AND EASY TO USE TEST
biotical SARS-CoV-2 Ag card test is a very valuable tool in terms of cost and time compared to other diagnostic methods, with a much earlier detection window than a serological antibody test. It is able to identify an active infection in under 10 minutes and with no need for laboratory equipmen.
Our test’s monoclonal antibody has high specificity to the SARS-CoV-2 antigen, limiting the possibility of false positives.
biotical SARS-CoV-2 Ag card test is manufactured in Spain by Biotical Health S.L.U, under European Regulation 98/79/EC on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices, as well as the ISO13485 certification.

What is the SARS-CoV-2 virus?
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a new type of coronavirus responsible for the disease ca- lled COVID19.
COVID19 presents with a very wide picture of symptoms, among which are fever, fatigue, sore throat, headache, dyspnoea, diarrhoea, loss of taste and smell, as well as circulatory and organic complications of various types. SARS-CoV-2
is considered a respiratory virus that potentially causes pneumonia.
SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated a high level of human-to-human transmission due to its long incubation period (from two to twelve days), the ability to occur asymptomatically in certain individuals and to remain active on surfaces.
The virus is spread by drops of saliva when talking, coughing or sneezing over short distances and to a lesser extent by aerosols.
Other routes of transmission such as faecal contamination are possible.
The virus enters the nasopharyngeal cavity where it enters into the epithelial cells and shows its highest viral load in the first days, replicating and accessing other cells in the body with specific receptors as the disease progresses.
