The Finger Prick IgG Antibody test is a ‘self-collect test’ kit which can be carried out from the comfort of your home. This newly developed test is a simple and easy way to find out if you have had Covid19 or not.
The antibody test isn’t checking for the virus itself. Instead, it looks to see whether your immune system (your body’s defence against illness) has responded to the infection. This type of test is a looking for things called antibodies in your blood.
What an antibody test can tell you:
An antibody test can tell you if it’s likely you’ve had coronavirus before.
But it does not work for everyone, as some people who’ve had the virus do not have antibodies.
An antibody test does not tell you:
if you’re immune to coronavirus
if you can or cannot spread the virus to other people
Purpose:
The results are not intended to replace medical advice, nor should they be used as a full diagnosis, or to prescribe medication without consulting an appropriate medical professional. Laboratory testing will always have a small degree of variability.
What is an IgG Antibody Test?
An antibody test is a looking for things called IgG antibodies in your blood. Your body makes these when it fights an infection, like Covid-19. The same thing happens when you get a vaccine, like a flu jab. That’s how you build immunity to a virus.
