Tilt your head up slightly, hold the end of the swab in one hand, and enter the nostril on one side, and then go backward and deepen it along the bottom of the lower nasal passage slowly for 1-1.5 centimeters, and then rotate it for at least 4 times, and repeat the same operation with the same swab for the other nasal passage. The same operation was repeated for the other nasal cavity using the same swab.
3. Antigen detection
The nasal swab is placed in a sampling tube immediately after sample collection, and the swab head is rotated and mixed in the preservative for at least 30 seconds, and the swab head is squeezed at least 5 times by hand against the outer wall of the sampling tube.
Squeeze the swab head by hand through the outer wall of the sampling tube to dry the swab, and then discard the swab. After capping the sampling tube, drop the liquid vertically into the sample hole of the test card.
According to the reagent instructions, wait for a certain period of time for the results to be interpreted.
