The MEXACARE Coronavirus Antigen Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens present in the human nasopharynx. One antigen (protein of COVID-19) is usually detectable in upper respiratory tract samples during the acute phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens.

Relative Sensitivity95.65% (95 % CI*: 91.9 %-99.4%)
Relative Specificity99.38% (95 % CI*: 98.5%->99.9%)
Accuracy98.39% (95 % CI*: 97.2%-99.57%)

The benefits of the MEXACARE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test

• Very high sensitivity (>93 %) and specificity (>98 %)

• Fast availability of test results (approx. 15 minutes)

• No expensive laboratory equipment needed

• No additional reagents required

• All materials for direct on-site testing included (Point-of-Care)

• No need to transport samples to the laboratory

When should I test with the MEXACARE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test

Like the RT-PCR test, an antigen test is able to detect infection of coronavirus SARS-CoV 2 very early after infection. We recommend testing with the Mexacare Covid-19 Antigen Rapid tests in the earliest stages (first 5-6 days after contact with the virus, and in the first 2-3 days after the onset of symptoms. Since the test detects protein components of the virus and not antibodies, acute infections with SARS-CoV-2 can be detected at this early stage.

The Antigen Test performance at different Ct values?
In order to determine the sensitivity of the COVID-19 Antigen tests at different Ct values, Mexacare conducted a comparative study with patient samples in Austria that were confirmed positive by RT-PCR
(including determination of the Ct value). In this study the MEXACARE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test achieved the following results:

20-30 100 %
20-31 96.2 %
20-32 96.3 %
20-33 90.0 %
20-34 90.3 %
