The mö-screen Corona Antigen Test workflow

Sample collection and workflow steps
  1. Use the swab to remove secretions from the nostril. A nasopharyngeal swab is also possible. Do not return the swab to the original paper packaging. If immediate testing is not possible, the swab must be stored in a clean plastic tube and tested within one hour.
  2. Place the extraction tube in the workstation and add 10 drops of buffer solution.
  3. Place the swab in the extraction tube, rotating the swab at least 6 times. Press the tip of the swab against the bottom and side of the extraction tube. Let the tube incubate for 1 minute.
  4. Squeeze the tube several times with fingers from outside of the tube to immerse the swab. Remove the swab.
  5. Remove the test cassette from the foil and place it on a clean, flat surface.
  6. Add 4 drops of test sample into the sample window (S).

Interpretation of results

  • negative test result
    Negative
    A colored line appears in control area C. No colored line appears in test area T.
  • positive test result
    Positive
    Two colored lines appear, one in control area C and one in test area T. The intensity of the test line T may vary depending on the concentration of the antigen in the sample. Any sign of a line should be considered a positive result.
  • invalid test result
    Invalid
    In the control area C, a red line must always appear when the test is performed. If this line does not appear, the test is invalid in any case. Please repeat the test with a new test cassette.
