Available in Pharmacy

Collect the specimen with the sterile pharyngeal swab provided in the kit.

Hold the tongue down with a tongue depressor. Swab the back of the pharynx, tonsils, and other inflamed areas. Avoid touching the tongue, cheeks and teeth with the swab.

The test should ideally be performed immediately after sample collection.

Add 4 drops of extraction reagent A and 4 drops of extraction reagent B to the respective extraction tube and mix completely. The color of the mixed liquid should turn yellow.

Place the sample extraction buffer in the tube. Shake the swab ten times. Leave the swab in the tube for one minute. Then remove the swab while pressing the head of the swab against the inside of the tube as you remove it to remove as much liquid from the swab as possible. Discard the swab.

Cap the tube and mix the contents by gently shaking. The sample should be tested immediately.

Remove the test from the sealed aluminum pouch by tearing where the notch is and place the test on a clean, dry, flat surface. Add 3 drops of mixed liquid sample from the tube to the sample well (depicting an arrow) of the test cassette by inverting and squeezing the tube as shown.

Wait 10 minutes and read the results. Do not read the results after 15 minutes.
