The assay uses monoclonal antibodies recognizing viral antigens that may be present in a sample.
What is PenCheck?
How does PenCheck work?
The binding of the antibodies to the viral antigen target results in the formation of a red “test line” on the PenCheckTM test strip.
This line is absent when no viral antigen is present. Another red line, the “control line”, indicates that the test ran correctly.
