A box of Rapid Antigen Lateral Flow tests to detect the virus directly from individuals with suspected Covid-19.

Looking and helpful pictures others posted, I could work out format is YYYY/MM/DD and so 3rd October, so 9 months expiry. The FlowFlex antigen test has accurately identified 93% of the positive cases and 100% of the negative specimens. The UK Government Public Health England, Porton Down Laboratory, which reviews all lateral flow tests for the DHSC/UK Government, has validated these tests to have exemplary accuracy at multiple viral loads, including for asymptomatic patients, and across the new different variants. FlowFlex Rapid Antigen Test Kits are UK Government Approved and Stage 3 Validated by Porton Down Laboratories.Negative results from patients more than seven days post symptom onset should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.

A negative result, from a patient with symptom onset beyond seven days, should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with a molecular assay, if necessary, for clinical management. Try to retake the test after 1 or 2 days, as COVID-19 cannot be accurately detected in all phases of the infection.The swabs are manufactured and packaged in a sterile environment; they may emit a slight smell briefly upon opening the packaging, but this is of the products used to manufacture and will not affect their use.

Please do NOT purchase this test for Day 2 post travel testing as no reference number for passenger locator form can be provided by us. Additionally, the FlowFlex Lateral Flow Test Kits has been certified for detecting the Omicron COVID Variant. Negative Result: If only the quality control line (C) appears and the detection line (T) is not visible, then no SARS-CoV-2 antigen has been detected and the result is negative. Specimens should be tested as quickly as possible after specimen collection and at most within the hour following collection.Once you’ve dripped the solution onto the absorbent pad, the device should be left on a flat surface for 30 minutes. Mass testing has proved to be effective in identifying infected individuals and stopping the spread of COVID-19. We are NOT a Private Testing Provider, we are a supplier of Government Tested Lateral Flow test kits. A total of 172 nasal swab samples were taken from 108 symptomatic patients who are suspected of having COVID-19.

A positive test on the FlowFlex SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen self-test cassette will require for the individual to self-isolate and book a government approved PCR Covid test immediately for confirmation. You should, however, still adhere to the rules and regulations, inclusive of all protective measures possible. variants with various nucleocapsid protein mutations, including many defining mutations for the Omicron variants. Normally the FlowFlex Antigen Test have at least 18 months shelf-life, some batches do extend to 24 months expiry date.These Flowflex tests are fully Home Use approved and completely non-invasive as they detect the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 via a nasal swab. Test results are interpreted visually at 15 minutes based on the presence or absence of visually coloured lines. The extraction buffer includes components to dissociate viral proteins from their surfaces to be used as a target for the test. While we have not tested the live clinical Omicron XBB subvariant samples, the GISAID in-silico and pairwise sequence analysis show that 7 out of 8 defining mutations of XBB are detectable by our test. In the event of a positive test result, you and your household will have to self isolate immediately.
