Performing A ART Self Test With A Nasal Sample
Three simple steps and the result will be ready after 15 minutes
Collect nasal sample
Blow your nose once using a tissue. Insert the swab into one nostril. Slowly slide it approx. 2 cm forward. Rotate the swab 4 times (for approx. 15 seconds) against the lining of the nasal wall, before removing it. Repeat in other nostril using the same swab.
Prepare sample
Insert the swab into an extraction buffer tube, squeeze the tube and stir the swab more than ten times. Remove the swab while squeezing the sides of the tube. Press the nozzle cap tightly onto the tube.
Performing a test
Add 4 drops of extracted sample vertically into the specimen well of the test device.
Risk of incorrect results. Do not read test result after 30 minutes.
Wash hands or use hand sanitizer before and after performing a test.

Antigen Rapid Test (ART) Results Interpretation
Image Source: Roche
Positive Test Result
If both the colored line C and T are visible, the test result is positive. This means the test detected the virus protein in the sample. The tested person is currently infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Negative Test Result
A visible control line C alone means the test worked correctly. The test result is negative. No virus protein could be detected in the sample.
Invalid Test Result
If there is no line visible, or only the line marked with a T, the test did not work correctly and needs to be repeated with another test device.
