Unpacking the Science Behind 15-Minute Diagnostics

Laboratory Accuracy in Your Living Room

The test utilizes advanced lateral flow immunoassay technology capable of:

  • Detecting 98.1% of positive cases when viral loads are highest
  • Identifying nucleocapsid protein antigens from all major variants
  • Providing results comparable to PCR when used symptomatically
    Clinical validations show 99.4% specificity, meaning false positives are exceptionally rare.

Extended Shelf Life Advantage

The FDA’s unprecedented 15-month authorization:

  • Addresses supply chain challenges
  • Reduces household testing costs by 40%
  • Maintains 100% efficacy through expiration when stored properly
    Each pack contains two tests with extended usability windows.
