RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BMRAAbsolute Apples to Oranges and no comparison to PCR. These are antibody tests , there are many other companies making these now. These are a dime a dozen nothing disruptive at all. There is a big difference from a RT-PCR and an antibody test for a highly contagious virus. There is a reason PCR is the gold standard. This is from Jack: “Please see attachment. Antibody tests are only good long after the acute phase of the infection…after the patient has infected all his/her friends family. IgM comes up first about 13 days after viral exposure, and they can only detect 87%….they have to wait for 20 days to get a better detection rate”. This is why RT-PCR (what LexaGene does) is preferred. RT-PCR can detect covid 1-2 days before symptoms and as early as 2 days after exposure.
