SARS-CoV-2
SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) is the virus responsible for COVID-19, a respiratory illness that became a global pandemic starting in late 2019. It is part of the coronavirus family, which includes viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome).
SARS-CoV-2 primarily spreads through respiratory droplets, aerosols, and contact with contaminated surfaces. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild (fever, cough, fatigue) to severe (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multi-organ failure), and asymptomatic cases are also common.

Why Healthcare Professionals Choose Our SARS-CoV-2 Tests
Healthcare professionals rely on SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen testing to identify active infections quickly and support timely patient management. Our diagnostic solutions are sourced from internationally recognised manufacturers and are designed to deliver dependable clinical performance, regulatory compliance, and consistent diagnostic accuracy across healthcare environments.
Understanding SARS-CoV-2 Testing
SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests detect specific proteins found on the virus responsible for COVID-19. These rapid diagnostic tests are commonly used to identify active infections, particularly in individuals with symptoms or those requiring routine screening. By providing results within a short period, antigen testing supports early isolation, clinical assessment, and infection control measures. Rapid testing has become an essential tool for healthcare providers, workplaces, and community health programmes.
