The Lateral Flow Tests (LFT) Devices are tests that were designed to help identify if someone has been exposed to COVID-19. This test can detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) in blood serum.

The test uses lateral flow technology, which means that the sample flows along a strip from left to right. If the sample contains antibodies against SARS-Cov-2, they will bind to the antibody binding sites present in the test line. As the sample moves across the test line, the amount of bound antigen increases. When the test reaches the end of the test line, the result appears as a colored band.

Lateral Flow Tests (LFT) Devices are quick and easy to use and are completed via the following steps:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any test strips.

2. Do not touch the cap until after the sample has been applied.

3. Place the cap back on the vial immediately after testing.

4. Store the vials at room temperature (20-25°C) away from direct sunlight.

5. Keep the vials upright.

6. Avoid touching the vial with your fingers.

The results can take up to 10 minutes to show on the test strip so you must always allow the full time before registering your result.

There are many Different types of Covid Tests available, some of the most popular are:

1. Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

This test detects the virus RNA using reverse transcriptase enzyme. This enzyme converts the viral RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA), which can then be amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

2. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

The ELISA test uses antibodies that bind specifically to antigens present in the sample.

These antibodies are linked to a detectable label. If antigen is present, the antibody binds to it and forms a complex. The amount of bound antibody is proportional to the concentration of antigen in the sample.

3. Immunofluorescence Antibody Test

In this test, antibodies are used to detect specific antigens. Fluorescent dyes are attached to the antibodies. When the target antigen is present, the fluorescent dye emits light.

Different types of Covid tests take different times to complete and some results take longer than others, it is always best to check which would be the most suitable test for you in the time frame that you need it.
