IgG/IgM Antibodies
IgG/IgM antibodies are two classes of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to infections. These antibodies are commonly tested to determine if a person has been exposed to a particular pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria.
- IgM (Immunoglobulin M): This is the first antibody produced by the immune system when a new infection occurs. Its presence indicates a recent or acute infection.
- IgG (Immunoglobulin G): This is produced later during the course of an infection and can persist for a longer time, sometimes for years, indicating past exposure or long-term immunity.
Testing for IgG/IgM antibodies is often done in the context of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, dengue, or other viral/bacterial infections, to assess whether a person is currently infected (IgM) or has developed immunity (IgG).
Point-of-Care (POC) Benefits
Point-of-care (POC) testing refers to medical testing that is performed near or at the site of patient care, typically providing rapid results. POC tests for IgG/IgM antibodies (often in the form of rapid diagnostic tests) offer several benefits:
Rapid Results: Most POC IgG/IgM antibody tests provide results within 10-30 minutes, allowing immediate decision-making for treatment or isolation if needed.
Convenience: POC tests can be performed at clinics, hospitals, or even at home, eliminating the need to send samples to a central laboratory.
Early Detection: Detecting IgM antibodies can help identify acute infections early, allowing for quicker interventions and reducing the risk of transmission.
Monitoring Immunity: IgG testing helps assess whether someone has developed immunity from a past infection or vaccination, which is particularly useful for managing diseases like COVID-19.
Cost-effective: POC tests are generally cheaper than laboratory-based tests, reducing healthcare costs and improving accessibility.

Why Healthcare Professionals Choose Our Antibody Tests
Healthcare professionals rely on antibody testing to evaluate immune response, identify previous exposure to infectious diseases, and support clinical decision-making. Our antibody diagnostic products are sourced from internationally recognised manufacturers and are designed to deliver dependable performance, regulatory compliance, and consistent clinical accuracy across healthcare settings.
Understanding Diagnostic Testing
Antibody tests detect immunoglobulins produced by the body's immune system following exposure to infections or other antigens. IgM antibodies generally appear during the early stages of infection, while IgG antibodies develop later and may remain detectable for an extended period, indicating previous exposure or an established immune response. Rapid antibody testing supports healthcare professionals in assessing immune status and assisting with disease management.
