COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test
With the Coronavirus Test Ordinance (TestV) of October 14, 2020, rapid tests represent a new pillar in the containment of the current COVID-19 pandemic. These tests can be carried out on site by trained professionals and identify the pathogen of COVID-19 and its antigens right after.
For this purpose, a nasopharyngeal swab is taken from the back of the nose (recommended) or throat area and applied to a test cassette. This works according to the lateral flow principle and shows within 10 to 15 minutes whether COVID-19 antigens could be detected in the sample.

What effect do mutations have on the reliability of the
Testsealabs COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test?
Lately there have been frequent reports of mutations in SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. In particular, a variant from England with potentially increased infectivity is in the foreground.
This raises the question of what effect such mutations have on the reliability of rapid tests and whether an infection with the English variant can also be detected.
According to the current status, detection is just as reliable as with other variants.
