In cases where molecular testing was negative but where there was a strong epidemiological link to COVID-19 infection and paired blood samples (acute and convalescent) showing rising antibody levels. From detecting effective mechanism to preventing
The Proven Benefits of Antibody Testing for Covid -19

In Vitro Diagnostics: All that you need to know about it
Clinical diagnostics testing has entered a new phase with the availability of various tools to diagnose health conditions for effective treatment. Clinical tests such as in-vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are clinical tests that analyze the body conditions based on the samples taken from the human body. In contrast to other devices,
Antigen vs Antibody
An antigen is any substance or organism that is unrecognized by our immune system. Any foreign invaders, such as pathogens (bacteria and viruses), chemicals, toxins, and pollens, can be antigens.
