The Lifecosm Biotech Limited rapid antigen test in the Medikay Edition for the detection of a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection was assessed as best possible by the German Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) and received the highest possible sensitivity as well as the confirmed Omikron detection.

Quality-sensitive specialized users from the medical range favor the Lifecosm Coronaschnelltest in completely Europe. With all current virus mutations, you get reliable test results by detecting the nucleocapsid protein.

Special features of this test model:

• 5 Tests per packaging unit, each test cassette is individually sealed
• 4in1 Application -> One swab for four different sampling methods
  • Sampling by anterior nasal swab, deep nasal swab (nasopharyngeal swab), pharyngeal swab (oropharyngeal swab), saliva sampling (lollipop)
  • Saliva removal by placing between teeth for 10 seconds
• Short duration of use: Only 1 minute time of the swab sample in the extraction solution -> unique in combination with 100% total sensitivity according to PEI
• Pre-filled extraction tubes -> less handling and time savings
• Uncomplicated use, no laboratory required
• Test results after 15 minutes

It is not without reason that the test, which is so popular with medical staff, is constantly in demand. According to an independent evaluation by the German PEI, this product gives you the best possible result and reliable information on whether or not a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is present in the low-virus load range.

As a result, the product manufactured exclusively for Medikay in this form holds for Europe what other rapid tests often only promise. The high constant continuous quality is not a coincidence, but the result of intensive efforts in the development of quality monitoring according to the German standard.

Millions of applications confirmed:

• Highest continuous quality through continuous quality controls
• Maximum evaluation by the Paul Ehrlich institute
• Satisfied long-term users with special requirements -> use in numerous clinics

Omikron BA.5
Our rapid antigen tests detect the nucleocapsid protein and not the surface protein "spike". The Omikron Subvarianten BA.4 and BA.5 exhibits a mutation in the genetic material of the spike protein and therefore have no influence on the test result.

The operability with the Omikron variant was confirmed due to an evaluation of the concrete contentwise composition of the test strip by the German Paul Ehrlich Institute. As a result, the confirmation followed in the comparative evaluation of the PEI -> "Omikron detection according to the bridging test -> Yes"

The rapid diagnostic antigen test can reliably detect acute infections by nasal swab samples, oropharyngeal swab samples and saliva samples within 15 minutes without the need for laboratory evaluation. The rapid test can be used in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The good performance features give you a reliable answer regarding a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.

The scope of delivery includes all necessary materials for carrying out the test. Additionally, you need only a timer, with which you can seize the waiting period on the test result of 15 minutes.
