About the V-chek Test
V-Chek Test is an immunochromatography sandwich assay using double-antibody sandwich to legally detect the antigen of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in nasal swab samples.
During detection, the gold labeled anti-2019-nCoV monoclonal antibody in the labeling pad binds to the 2019-nCoV antigen in the sample to form a complex. Then the reaction complex moves forward along the nitrocellulose membrane under the action of chromatography. It is captured by the anti-2019-nCoV monoclonal antibody pre-coated in the Test area (T) on the nitrocellulose membrane. Finally a red color reaction line is formed in the Test area (T).
If the sample does not contain 2019-nCoV antigen, a red color reaction line cannot be formed in the Test area (T). Regardless of whether the sample to be tested contains 2019-nCoV antigen, a red reaction line will always form in the quality control area (C), if the test has been performed properly.
This product is meant for self-testing use.
Please note: this product is currently authorized for sale or distribution in Malaysia. Referring to MDA requirement, it is strictly forbidden for individuals to sell Covid-19 RTK (self-test).
