Option 1: Swab / RT-PCR Test
For active infections
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) molecular test (nucleic acid detection) can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in upper respiratory samples. This test is used to aid in the diagnosing of active COVID-19 infections. Negative test results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was not detected in the respiratory sample while positive test results mean SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was detected in the sample.
Option 2: Antibody Test
For past exposure
COVID-19 antibody testing can detect the presence of antibodies in the blood to SARS-CoV-2 due to past exposure to the virus. This test is not for diagnosing active infections. Negative test results indicate that no protective antibodies were detected in the blood sample while positive test results mean protective antibodies were detected in the blood.

Overview
NKMax offers a COVID-19 Antibody Test (serology) which is an immunochromatographic assay that measures SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG/IgM antibodies from an immune response to COVID-19 infection. The test detects the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and is for patients who are not actively ill and have not experienced any symptoms for the past 10 days. This test requires a blood sample.
We also offer a real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) assay to detect viral RNA for COVID-19 diagnosis and to help limit the spread of infection. The test detects the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 disease, and is for patients who exhibit signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection. This test requires an upper respiratory (swab) sample collected by a healthcare professional.
Both the COVID-19 RT-PCR and Antibody Tests, performed at NKMax America, are authorized by the FDA under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA). See RT-PCR and Antibody Test Fact Sheets for patients and healthcare providers at the bottom of this webpage.
