This test requires professional lab infrastructure and staff and must be ordered and administered by medical professionals. The test cannot be performed by private individuals and we do not sell the kits to such subjects. If you suspect you are infected with SARS-CoV-2, please contact your healthcare provider.

For the qualitative determination of human anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP) ELISA (IgG class antibodies) in serum, plasma or another specimen.

SARS-CoV-2 NP IgG ELISA kit is a highly sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and qualitative measurement of IgG class antibodies against the nucleocapsid protein (NP) of SARS-CoV-2 virus in human blood.

ImmunoDiagnostics SARS-CoV-2 NP IgG ELISA kit is a two-step incubation immunoassay kit. Recombinant nucleocapsid protein (NP) of SARS-CoV-2 pre-coated onto the polystyrene microwell strips can specifically recognize anti-NP antibodies in human serum or plasma specimens. After a 1-hour incubation, anti-NP antibodies are captured by immobilized NP protein while the unbound components are washed away. Afterwards, a detection solution containing HRP-conjugated antihuman. IgG is added for another 1-hour incubation, wherein HRP-conjugated anti-human IgG binds to the IgG class antibodies previously bound to NP protein on the plate. After removal of nonspecific bindings, a HRP substrate solution containing 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is added, resulting in the formation of a blue color. Color reaction is stopped by 2M H2SO4, transforming the blue color to yellow signals, which is quantified by an absorbance microplate reader at 450nm. The color intensity is proportional to the amount of anti-NP antibodies captured inside the wells.
