SARS-CoV-2 Ag
Detects the highly conserved nucleocapsid (N) protein across circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron sub-lineages.
- Clinical Sensitivity: 96.8%
- Clinical Specificity: 99.4%
- Guiding antiviral therapy (Paxlovid) within 5 days
Simultaneous qualitative differential detection of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Type A, and Influenza Type B nucleoprotein antigens from a single patient swab. Delivers clear, visual clinical results in 15 minutes to initiate targeted antiviral treatment immediately.
SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal Influenza viruses share almost identical early symptoms: sudden acute fever, cough, fatigue, chills, and cephalalgia. Because physical presentation alone cannot differentiate them, rapid point-of-care discrimination is essential to guide clinical prescription windows.
Detects the highly conserved nucleocapsid (N) protein across circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron sub-lineages.
Identifies seasonal and avian influenza A subtypes, including predominant H1N1 and H3N2 strains circulating in community epidemics.
Discriminates seasonal influenza B lineages (Yamagata and Victoria) with zero cross-reactivity against secondary respiratory pathogens.
| Analyte / Virus | Clinical Sensitivity (95% CI) | Clinical Specificity (95% CI) | Total Agreement | Limit of Detection (LoD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) | 96.8% (92.4% – 98.9%) | 99.4% (98.2% – 99.8%) | 98.9% | 100 TCID50/mL |
| Influenza Type A | 95.9% (90.7% – 98.2%) | 99.8% (98.7% – 100%) | 99.1% | 1.5 × 103 TCID50/mL |
| Influenza Type B | 94.2% (87.9% – 97.3%) | 99.8% (98.7% – 100%) | 99.0% | 2.0 × 103 TCID50/mL |
Engineered for busy outpatient triage, urgent care centers, and clinical laboratories with no specialized instrumentation required.
Collect a nasopharyngeal or anterior nasal specimen using the sterile flocked swab supplied with the test kit.
Insert swab into the pre-filled buffer tube. Rotate 10-12 times against tube wall. Squeeze tube sides while withdrawing.
Attach dropper tip to the tube. Invert and dispense exactly 3 drops (80 µL) into each cassette sample well (S).
Interpret visual bands at 15 minutes. Results must not be read after 20 minutes to prevent chromatographic false readings.
Dual reading windows physically separate the COVID-19 channel from the Influenza A+B channel to prevent any band misinterpretation.
Evaluates SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antigen presence.
Evaluates Influenza Type A and Type B nucleoproteins.
QuRapid supplies an extensive portfolio of rapid diagnostic test kits for clinical respiratory pathogen screening across Dubai and the UAE.

Contact Clinical SpecialistYes. The test features distinct, physically separated test lines for Influenza A and Influenza B in the right reading window, allowing clear, unequivocal differentiation between the two seasonal viral strains.
Testing is optimal within the first 1 to 5 days after symptom onset when viral shedding in upper respiratory secretions is at its peak. Beyond day 7, viral shedding may decrease below the limit of detection.
Extensive multicenter validation has confirmed zero cross-reactivity with RSV, Human Adenovirus, Rhinovirus, Parainfluenza types 1-4, Human Metapneumovirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Store sealed in the original packaging at room temperature or refrigerated between 2°C and 30°C. Kits do not require cold chain logistics, provided ambient temperatures remain strictly below 30°C. Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture.
The kit is manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management standards and carries CE-IVD certification for professional in vitro diagnostic use across UAE clinics, hospital laboratories, and government healthcare facilities.
Order CE-IVD COVID-19 & Influenza A+B Combo Rapid Test Kits with same-day dispatch across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the UAE.
