The diagnostic method used is a high-accuracy qPCR test detecting the presence of virus. It is a molecular test that is run in a laboratory. This is not a rapid antigen test. This is not an antibody/serology test, and does not detect the presence of antibodies or history of infection.

Our test has been validated to have >99% specificity and >95% sensitivity. This means there is less than a 1% chance of having a false positive result, and less than a 5% chance of a negative test result despite being infected with COVID-19. This false negative rate can be attributed to biological hurdles and not issues with the test itself, as early in infection the presence of virus is small and potentially undetectable. Therefore, if you have a negative test and have high suspicion of COVID-19 infection, you may want to discuss further with a healthcare provider and potentially consider retesting at a later date.
