RAPID TESTS FOR EVERYONE
Finally, you can test yourself where and when it´s most convenient for you: with our test kit, you can make a qualitative in vitro diagnostic of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen by means of a simple smear in the anterior nose area – even if you have no medical/clinical experience. Thanks to precise step-by-step instructions, carrying out the test is dead easy.

TEST PROCEDURE
CORETESTS®-COVID-Ag TEST for self-use
APPLICATION STEP BY STEP
Step 1
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap (at least 30 seconds)
Step 2

Step 3
Gently insert the swab 2–4 cm into the nostril
Step 4
Roll the swab 5 times along the nasal mucosa, repeat the procedure with the same swab in the other nostril
Step 5
Unscrew the lid of the sample tube
Step 6
Insert the swab into the tube, turn 10 times and squeeze the base of the tube
Step 7
Let the sample tube with the swab rest in the holder of the packaging for one minute
Step 8
Squeeze the tube a few times with two fingers
Step 9
Screw the lid on the sample tube and break off the tip of the lid
Step 10
Take the test cassette from the sealed bag and place it on a flat, clean and dry surface
Step 11
Add 2–3 drops of the solution from the sample tube into the recess of the test cassette
Step 12
The result will appear after 10–15 minutes
EVALUATION
Step 1
A control line (C) and no test line (T) appears on the test cassette
Step 2
No control line (C) appears on the test cassette. An appearance of the test line (T) is irrelevant here
Step 3
Both a control line (C) and a test line (T) appear on the test cassette

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Regarding the Coretests®-COVID-19 AG rapid tests for self-application
-
Are COVID-19 rapid tests reliable?
100% reliability cannot be guaranteed by a rapid antigen test; however, this can also occur with other test methods, such as PCR tests. Using the PCR test as the sole diagnostic method quickly reaches economic proportions (laboratory equipment, costs etc.) that the global health system cannot afford due to the number of infections. COVID-19 rapid tests provide a useful supportive alternative.
-
What are the advantages of rapid tests compared to PCR tests?
COVID-19 rapid tests can be carried out cost-effectively, decentrally and by any healthcare professional – or even as self-tests by the general public. No additional equipment is necessary, as is the case with a complex PCR smear test.
-
What can rapid COVID-19 testing be used for?
Currently, COVID-19 rapid tests are used in nursing homes, hospitals or schools for regular testing of staff and residents. In test centers, all citizens can be tested by medical professionals. Self-tests can provide additional security in specific, every-day situations – for example, before visiting friends and family, when eating out, or before visiting the theatre or cinema. If a COVID-19 rapid test is positive, the result must be confirmed by a PCR test.
-
What does sensitivity mean?
The sensitivity of a diagnostic test procedure indicates the percentage of sick patients who actually detect the corresponding disease by test application. This is calculated as a quotient of right-positive test results and the sum of right-positive and false-negative test results. The higher the sensitivity, the more reliably the disease is diagnosed.
-
What does specificity mean?
The specificity of a diagnostic test procedure indicates the probability with which healthy test persons are also recognized as healthy in the test. This is calculated as a quotient of indeed-negative test results and the sum of false-positive and right-negative test results.
-
What does detection limit mean?
In order to ensure the reliable detection of a transmission-relevant infection, the detection limit of the antigen tests should be based on the data collected so far by the RKI. The detection limit describes the extreme value of a measurement method up to which the corresponding measured quantity can barely be detected.
