Detect the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 with Meridian Bioscience’s new antibody pair

A rapid antigen test provides a fast and reliable indication of the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the causative agent of Covid-19. A positive result of an antigen test is reliable, whereas a negative result does not completely rule out infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The success of rapid tests is therefore limited by the sensitivity of the antibodies used.
