SALIVA Rapid Tests
Coronavirus saliva tests are a new type of PCR diagnostic for COVID-19. Saliva testing “does depend on standard PCR technology, and it does require some manual labor in order to move it through the steps of the test,” Mehta says. But collecting spit is less invasive than a nose or throat swab and easier to do at home or without medical training.
Early Yale research conducted by testing professional basketball players suggests the saliva test is about as accurate as a traditional nasal PCR test
ANTIBODY Rapid Tests
An antibody test is a screening for things called antibodies in your blood. Your body makes these when it fights an infection, like COVID-19. The same thing happens when you get a vaccine, like a flu shot. That’s how you build immunity to a virus.
You may also hear it called a serology test.
The antibody test isn’t checking for the virus itself. Instead, it looks to see whether your immune system -- your body’s defense against illness -- has responded to the infection.
ANTIGEN Rapid Tests
Antigen tests can turn around results in minutes—but speed comes with tradeoffs.
Like PCR tests, antigen tests usually require a nose or throat swab. But unlike PCR tests, which look for genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, antigen tests look for proteins that live on the virus’ surface. This process is a little less labor-intensive than PCR testing, since there isn’t as much chemistry involved, but it’s also less sensitive.
NEUTRALIZING ANTOBODY Rapid Tests
The COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test Device is an in vitro immunoassay for the direct and qualitative detection of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human whole blood, serum, or plasma.
