CovAb™, the only oral fluid rapid, Pan Ig antibody test for Covid-19 gets FDA Emergency Use Authorization

CovAb^™ is the first and only rapid, oral fluid-based, point-of-care antibody test authorized by the FDA for use under an EUA.

The test is CLIA-waived, is all-inclusive, does not require any additional components or instrumentation, and test results are available within 15 minutes.

In addition to being rapid and noninvasive, the CovAb^™ test has sensitivity of 97.6% and specificity of 98.8%.

The CovAb^™ test was developed and is manufactured in the US.

“We are excited to bring this revolutionary new COVID-19 antibody test to market, which offers an easy and quick testing option to determine antibody status,” said Srinivasa Nagalla, M.D., Diabetomics CEO. “The CovAb^™ test can be easily administered to adults and children with no discomfort and provides quick results.”
