How To Use A Self-swabbing Antigen Rapid Test Kit Correctly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Antigen Rapid Test (ART) kits are widely available in pharmacies. Anyone can buy an ART kit to self-swab and test for the coronavirus.
But the kit is the most accurate when tested within day 5-7 of a COVID-19 infection when the viral load is the highest; symptoms only usually show on day 14. When tested outside of the 2-day window, the test kits have a higher chance of false positive and false negative results.
Professor Dale Fisher of the Division of Infectious Diseases at National University Hospital explains how a self-swab can be done for the most accurate results.
00:15 How does an ART kit detect the coronavirus?
00:48 How accurate is an antigen rapid test?
01:10 Why is my antigen rapid test inaccurate? Why do I have a false positive / false negative result?
01:47 How do I get the most accurate self-swab antigen rapid test results?
01:52 The first step when you open a self-swab ART kit.
02:05 How deep should I insert the swab in my nostril?
02:08 How many times do I need to turn and rotate the swab? Do I need to swab both nostrils?
02:16 Proceed with test as per manufacturer’s instructions
All households in Singapore will be issued Antigen Rapid Test (ART) kits between Aug 28 and Sep 27, 2021, with the aim of getting everyone including fully vaccinated individuals to self-test regularly.

This video says how to use but didn't really focus on the instructions. The ending is incomplete. For example you are suppose to wait for how long and the video didn't show the flow until the end that shows 1 or 2 stripes.
Man it says 15 minutes right on the test pod.
Typical CNA or Steven Chia quality (or lack thereof) type of content
It says 15 mins but yourll know as soon as that fluid passes the positive line, it either pops up right away or doesn’t. It’s more like two or three mins
Relative of mine was turned covid negative 5 times in this Rapid Antigen Test though he still showed COVID-19 symptoms. On the day of his death his relatives did an RT- PCR test and guess what he was COVID-19 positive.
means he didn't do it properly, or cov19 is absent in his body fluid (nose), and if u read per the notice if have cov-19 symptoms please see the doctor, the test kit is just for testing, health is more improtant
The PCR test is more sensitive. Also the virus can hang around much longer in the body that shows up in the PCR test. The rapid test is best done if someone else does it. Most people don't want to push the swab all the way under the eye which is where the virus would be detected if there. I see people moving the swab around in their nose. The virus is not going to be plentiful in the nostrils.
None of the tests diagnose covid or sars 2, so this is a crock. They are not tests.

I stuffed it in and I was sneezing for 2 hours HAHAHAHA
Thank you so much I was doing the test all wrong because I had my face mask UPSIDE-DOWN.
How do I measure 2cm deep should I mark the swab?
A good way to know that you've gone deep enough is if you tear up. It's very unpleasant, but it's the result of stimulating a nerve that causes your eyes to well up. Unpleasant, but a good indicator.
Yes, the tears up and sniff from the stirring. Really unconfortable
I did the PCR at first and i didnt think I did it correctly since i was confused about the procedure for the 1st time. But guess what, i still got positive. And the second time i did the rapid test, i sniffed three time when i put the swab deeply into my nostrils and i thought i may fail or i'd get an invalid result. It showed negative. I still caugh in midnight but no other symptoms. So i have to believe the reault anyway since the test center wont provide pcr unless i am social worker or ordering official report....
Why would it make the test invalid if I rubbed the swab directly on the "T" paper area?
0:14 ART tests, they are called RATs in australia
We are just test subjects in NZ an AUS 😂 taking rat tests 😂
@@asadeltemu7120 lol who would even come up with the name RAT
Thank you for showing how to do the test, or I might do it wrong.
Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful.
if it shows negative... you're doing it correctly ;)
Yeah, not really.
Yeah really 😉😉😉
@@rinky_dinky not really
Your spot on
Yeah if positive people keep repeating until it shows negative. Like those 9x before must be false positives.
If this is the case then what’s the point!!! I tested positive on four consecutive days, by the 9th day, I had a negative result.
What's it. Mean 2 day window period is most accurate???
my test kit said 3 drops on the cassette, she used a lot more than 3, which is right?
Kary Mullis (inventor of PCR) said it is not a diagnostic tool (bitchute) - so everyone is doing it wrong.
No he didn’t.
@@withramya too bad. it's on video.
@@withramya so essentially it's fraud. but lockdowns can help usher in Klaus Schwab's GREAT RESET.
@@withramya yes he did.
@@itstheotherwhitemeat oh just because you found it on the internet doesn’t make it true. PCR is a fantastic tool that’s saving lives during covid
I've been testing positive for Standard Q brand for a few weeks now but I've done 2 PCR (both negative) and swabbed with other brand ART kits that turns negative. Anyone has any similar experience please let me know!!. I've tested over 4 separate days and at least 2 different batch for standard Q.
I've not been infected before as far as I know.
Standard Q sd biosensor?
Mediviron clinic in Malaysia use this for RTK
Is at the peak of infection where antigen tests work. Negative pcrs probably reflect infection is no there anymore and also It makes sense second set of ART where negative.
lol my nose is always dry .. should i have a runny nose to try this....
If you poke deep enough your dry nose will produce liquids
I’ve just tested negative if I swab half when I’m uncomfortable
Anyone know why the T line usually pink colour but change to darker red after day 8 of the person tested positive?
mine didn't stop at T ,but it keep going to C
There is no such thing as false positive tests but I keep coming back negative and only once did it come back positive. They are very in accurate
Has the virus been isolated in the first place
Nope and they never will be able to do it cz quests what there is not such a thing as con-vid19, but there is the flu
So what is C and what is T ?
C stands for control, T tests for test. That's why C line must be there, but T line only shows up if it's positive.
Impossible to tell when those exact two days are.
Useless information.
Exactly
no mention of ethylene oxide ..surprise surprise
I dont know what we use it while they wont recognize the result if you to visit events or gathering, not even restaurants. Do for fun only.
Good point. But please don't get used to this nonsense, not even for fun. It is for disciplining the 'new citizen'.

Get lost, troll.
@@bobsandy8621 My comment is in response to the stupid nonsense you're spouting. None of the data you cite is of any relevance.
@@mljh11 🤡you are a China loving corrupt media operative
I tried one and I couldnt stop sneezing just by rolling that swab in each hole of my nose
You put the swab in too deep, it happened to me too for the first nostril that I put it in but then for the second one I didn’t put it in so much and it was fine
Is the C and T area supposed to turn red color? Mine doesnt turn red, only has red stripe. Also, when i drip the solution, its always has bubbles, i see this example she drip no bubbles.
Yes, it's meant to show red stripe. If it shows one red stripe near the area where C is written, it's negative. If shows two red stripes: one near C and other near T, it's a positive test. And appearance of bubbles is normal. Some air does get in most of the times. Nothing to worry about :)
@Paul O Yes definitely try to avoid bubbles especially of the sample size is small but the probability of it affecting is very very low.
Too horny or expired .lmao
when drip bubbles come out yo
If red color on T only what it's mean....
Theragripper research it
Try getting the seniors to do this themselves.
Some old man visit Massage Spa to get meimei swap.
No -- I get a negative result and so everything is fine and all the stupid restrictions disappear.
You did not inform the most important lah - how do we read negative and positive after the drops. What is C and T ?? Next time ask a teacher to vet your videos and they will tell you what info is not clear ...
If we already want to treat covid like a normal flu , no need to test , and also no need to quarantine. Just concentrate on ICu cases
but we are not treating it like normal flu yet... so keep testing less BS
This test kit is only for fish not humans...
More dumbing down TV. Thanks.
It's better to use saliva
2:48 she spill on the table weii
Accidentally spill it lah… hahahaha
Good soup
NO
omg, this is about the worst video ever. it's a movie where they cut the ending out.
i just spit into the tester hole
2cm ? So wrong. More like 3-4
I’m sorry it’s time to say enough is enough, we can’t live the rest of our lives like this, if your fully vaccinated you should be allowed to travel
You will never be fully vaccinated. You need to get boosters indefinitely. Check Israel. They prepare the population for the 4th !! vaccination. Your QR, or Green Pass is worthless unless you get the last jab.
You can still get covid even if you have the vaccine
@@user-qh2xz2bf1l than what for get vaccinaned --you still got to wear a mask or two
Same time you may not even know you got caught by the virus --thats Y cases gong up and up
Play safe wear masks -and trust no one --
Be safe --
Till they come up with some thing
That is 100%
People like you is why Covid is hard to end 🙄
@@bobsandy8621 thank you

hers was positive... shows it at the end..
That is incorrect. It hasn't reacted the "c" line or control line. If that happens it's considered unreadable and cannot be trusted if the control doesn't show up. Likely they shows it before it could be read or after it could be read
I didn't see a result either....
#1) Put the swab tip under a microscope to see the super creepy nanobot worms squirming around.
#2) Put it in a microwave on high for 5 mins.
#3) Smash it with a hammer.
#4) Burn it with a blow-torch.
This should keep you from becoming infected...
Lol!!! Yes!!! Exactly!!!
When I stuck the swab up my nose, my ass fell off.
empty water is also positive haha
As if it was a way to use this scam correctly.
For all hypochondriacs!
My 1 friend test negative but actually positive =all tests are BS
my parent won't do art test = all senior won't do it = art tests are BS
SINGAPOREAN LOGIC
If you feel fine and healthy, no need for any testing. Never was a need for.
But we live in interesting times.
If you were in direct contact with someone infected it's recommended
What a SCAMDEMIC! *I WILL NEVER COMPLY*
Nobody’s cares?! You should hold a covid party and show them what a false this is!!!
hopefully you get the virus and understand its not a "scamdemic" and wake up from your fantasy world.
@@kainaluhulalinaeole9499 it's true. Kary Mullis inventor of PCR said PCR isn't a diagnostic tool. It just amplifies. (bitchute)
@@nilljohn3460 it's less dangeorus than influenza. (Michael Yeadon)
@@ivanmectin9106 tell that to the families and friends of people died from this
They are not accurate and illegal
However you do it the result will always be positive so they can 'getcha & quarantine/lockdown' as they want it
That’s not true at all.
