COVID 19/Influenza A/B Antigen
Welcome to our cutting-edge facility in the Bronx, providing comprehensive Antigen testing for both COVID-19 and Influenza A/B. Our commitment is to offer accurate and efficient testing options, ensuring prompt and reliable results for various respiratory viruses.
What is COVID 19/Influenza A/B Antigen?
The term "COVID-19/Influenza A/B Antigen" typically refers to a combination test that is designed to detect antigens associated with both COVID-19 (caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) and influenza A and B viruses. These tests are commonly known as multiplex or combination antigen tests.
​
Here's a breakdown:
​
-
COVID-19 Antigen Test:
-
This component of the test is designed to detect the presence of specific proteins (antigens) associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
-
​
-
-
Antigen tests are generally quicker than PCR tests and provide results in a shorter time frame, usually within 15-30 minutes.
-
-
-
These tests are often used for rapid screening, especially in settings where quick results are crucial.
-
​
-
Influenza A/B Antigen Test:​
​
-
This part of the test is designed to detect antigens associated with influenza A and B viruses, which are common causes of seasonal flu.​
​
-
-
Similar to the COVID-19 antigen test, the influenza A/B antigen test provides relatively quick results and is useful for early detection of influenza.
