How does the SARS-CoV-2 antibody laboratory test work?

The kiweno SARS-CoV-2 antibody laboratory test is a home test kit using the dried blood spot method. The dried blood spot method is an innovative blood collection procedure using a blood filter paper. It requires only a few drops of blood, which are then analyzed and evaluated in the laboratory. The result is sent by e-mail. The test can be performed anywhere and, most importantly, without prior medical knowledge.

The laboratory uses the established ELISA measurement method to determine the level of IgG antibodies in the blood. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA measurement procedure used to evaluate the tests are 100% and 99.1%, respectively.
