Description
The Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test is a rapid, over-the-counter diagnostic tool designed to detect active COVID-19 infection. This kit contains two tests, allowing for serial testing, which improves the accuracy of results. The test is intended for self-administration by individuals aged 15 years and older or for adult-collected samples from children aged 2 years and above. It offers a convenient testing method using a direct nasal swab, with results available in just 15 minutes.
This self-test is highly effective in detecting the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2, including variants like Omicron XBB.1.5. The kit has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), making it accessible without a prescription. Despite its rapid results, users should be aware that the test may yield false negatives more frequently than lab-based molecular tests, especially when testing early in the infection. Therefore, multiple tests are recommended to confirm negative results.
The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test can be stored at room temperature, between 2°C and 30°C, with a recently extended shelf life of 22 months from the date of manufacture. The kit includes all necessary components for testing, along with clear, illustrated instructions.
