Anyone Interested in At-Home COVID Testing?
COVID-19 Blood Draw and Fingerstick Test Kits Now Available
Antibody testing for COVID-19 will play a crucial role in the next phase of pandemic management; identifying those who have been infected and now have immunity. We are happy to try and be part of the solution to the current Pandemic with the availability of a fingerstick serum antibody C-19 test as well as nasopharyngeal and stool PCR testing.
Learn more about testing options
Join Dr Kara Fitzgerald and Dr Brent Dorval PhD, KBMO Diagnostic’s Chief Scientific Officer, to learn about KBMO’s new COVID-19 Antibody Test. Dr. Dorval previously served as an advisor on the WHO Vaccines and Diagnostics Committee.
In this brief, 20-minute Teach-in webinar they cover:
• Evidence for the use of the immune-capture method to detect COVID-19 IgM and IgG antibodies
• Test accuracy and reliability

In addition, to serum antibody testing we offer nasopharyngeal and stool testing through another lab partner.
Here is a brief overview of the benefits of each of the testing methodologies.
COVID-19 NASOPHARYNGEAL PCR TEST
• ONLY DETERMINES CURRENT COVID-19 INFECTION; DOES NOT DETERMINE PAST INFECTION OR IMMUNITY
• Only true diagnostic test for COVID-19 using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory samples.
• Uses up to 4 viral targets to detect SARS-CoV-2, thereby improving accuracy.
• Nasopharyngeal swab kit
• 24-hour turnaround-time
COVID-19 ANTIBODY (IGM/IGG) TEST
• ONLY DETECTS PAST INFECTION OR IMMUNITY: IS NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CURRENT COVID-19 INFECTION
• Detects body’s immune response to COVID-19 by measuring specific IgM and IgG antibodies associated with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
• Expanded ability to determine current infection (IgM) as well as past infection and possible concomitant immunity (IgG)
• 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity; no cross-reactivity with other viruses
• Any positive results should be confirmed using the COVID-19 PCR Test.
• Follow-up testing with the COVID-19 PCR test should also be considered to rule out infection in individuals with a negative COVID-19 Antibody Test who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19
• Fingerstick or blood draw kit
• 24-hour turnaround time
COVID-19 STOOL PCR TEST
• NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CURRENT COVID-19 INFECTION. USED TO SCREEN MONITOR OR PREVENT TRANSMISSION PEOPLE AT RISK FOR COVID-19
• Detects SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in stool using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology
• Used to screen and monitor GI viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in confirmed COVID-19 patients in order to help prevent transmission of the virus via fecal->oral route
• SARS-CoV-2 in the stool may be found in up to 53.4% of COVID-19 patients and can be detected in the stool for up to 5 weeks after clearance from the respiratory tract
• Stool kit
• 24-hour turnaround time
