Russian scientists created an express test to detect immunity to COVID-19
Rapid Bio and Avivir have registered a rapid test capable of detecting antibodies to coronavirus in 15 minutes after vaccination. Reliability of the result is 96%.
The created test enables to determine how much the vaccination helped a certain person, when it is better to vaccinate repeatedly and whether it is worth vaccinating additionally with the single-component version after the disease.
These data make it possible to evaluate the current state of population immunity and predict its dynamics.
The created test enables to determine within a short period of time whether the immunity emerged after vaccination. Moreover, the test can be conducted at home since the kit contains all necessary materials - an alcohol swab, sterile lancet and pipettes to transfer the biosample. The kit will soon be available in pharmacies.
