SAMPLE COLLECTION AND HANDLING

Mid-turbinate or Anterior nasal Sample

Take the test strip out from the sealed packaging and place it on a flat and clean surface. Once opened, start the test within 20 minutes.
Gently blow your nose into a tissue and throw the tissue away in a closed bin. If you are testing a child, help them to blow their nose. This is to get rid of excess mucus.
Wash your hands thoroughly, using soap and water, or hand sanitiser. Dry your hands before performing the test.
Take the swab out. Never touch the soft, fabric tip of the swab with your hands.
Tilt the head back about 70 degrees.
Gently insert the entire absorbent tip of the swab into one nostril. The swab tip should be inserted up to 2.5 cm (1 inch) from the edge of the nostril and firmly sample the nasal wall by rotating the swab in a circular path against the nasal wall at least 5 times. Make sure the swab tip is touching the nasal walls as you rotate. Take approximately 15 seconds to collect the sample.
Remove the swab from the nostril.
Using the same swab, repeat Step 6 for the other nostril. It is important to collect samples from BOTH nostrils using the same swab.
After sample collection is complete, proceed to the assay procedure as soon as possible. Do NOT place the swab back into the packaging after sample collection is complete.

Procedure Steps:

Remove and discard the cap from the extraction buffer tube.
Immerse the swab into the extraction buffer tube. Roll the swab at least ten-twenty (10-20) times while pressing the head against the bottom and side of the extraction buffer tube.
Leave the swab in the extraction buffer tube for 30 seconds.
When removing, roll the swab head toward the inside of the extraction buffer tube and squeeze the sides of the tube to extract the liquid from the swab. Dispose of the used swab in biohazardous waste.
Press the attached cap tightly onto the extraction buffer tube containing the processed sample.
Add 3-5 drops (100 µL) of the processed sample into the sample well.
Visual interpretation at 15-20 minutes. Some positive results may appear sooner.

CAUTION: Do not read the results after 20 minutes. It may provide false results.

Interpretation of Results

Result	Visual Representation	Description
Positive	Two colored lines on the test cassette.	Both colored test (T) and control (C) lines appear on the test cassette. Within the specified observation time, a weak colored T line should be judged as a positive result.
Negative	Only the colored control line appears on the test cassette.	Only the colored control line (C) appears on the test cassette. The absence of the test line (T) indicates a negative result.
Invalid Assay	No colored control line appears.	There should always be a colored control line (C) in the control region regardless of the test result. If the control line is not seen, repeat the assay with a new test cassette.
Negative / High CT value	Very weak colored T line.	Within a specified observation time, a very weak colored T line should be judged as negative or high CT value. Please refer to RT-PCR result.
