If you think COVID testing can’t get better, wait til’ you get a hold of this self-testing antigen kit from Panbio! The International Sanitization and Protection Suppliers (ISPS) welcomes the all-new Panbio™ COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test to its line of antigen test kits. With a specificity rate of 98.6% to 100.0% and a sensitivity rate of 93.2% to 99.8%, it is Philippine FDA-registered and is used by healthcare professionals in over 100 countries.

Self-testing is a type of testing method favored by most people because being able to personally do it lessens the pressure and increases the sense of comfortability. If you prefer to test yourself, it’s best to choose a test kit that is legally authorized for usage in order to get the finest quality and high accuracy for your test—like the Panbio self-test kit!

Ever since the onset of the coronavirus disease back in 2020, COVID-19 testing has become one of the primary solutions to identify those infected by the virus. Fast forward to days and months that turned into years of being in a pandemic, we slowly shifted to a “new normal” where getting tested becomes a typical situation to find oneself in.

Despite the considerable amount of time we have experienced undergoing COVID-19 testing, some people are still not—or probably never will be—accustomed to the feeling of being swabbed by a healthcare professional.

If you are one of those people, you might ask how you’ll be able to overcome this. The answer is by self-testing; it is a rapid antigen test that is administered by none other than yourself.

What are the benefits of using the Panbio™ COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test?

Time-efficient:

This type of test is perfect for those who need test results ASAP for work or travel requirements. Why? Because you can get your results in just 15 minutes! You don’t have to wait for hours unlike molecular tests (i.e., RT-PCR).

As an antigen test, it can also detect active COVID-19 infection in people, asymptomatic or not. By knowing your current status, you can then easily take appropriate precautionary measures such as wearing masks, social distancing, isolation, etc. to avoid contact transmission.

Convenient:

This over-the-counter test can be taken anywhere at any time; self-testing at home or in the office can help limit the spread of the coronavirus. There’s no need to travel to a clinic or healthcare facility where the risk of contracting COVID-19 or other infectious diseases is high.

It is suitable for all ages as well, however, children under 14 years old should be supported by an adult. The method is simple as it only makes use of a simple nasal swab that will be inserted up to only 2cm into your nose.
