STANDARDTM Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY
[Introduction]
Coronavirus is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with an envelope of about 80 to 120 nm in diameter. Its genetic material is the largest of all RNA viruses and is an
important pathogen of many domestic animals, pets, and human diseases. It can cause a variety of acute and chronic diseases. Common signs of a person infected with a
coronavirus include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and dyspnea. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory
syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. The 2019 new coronavirus, or “COVID-19”, was discovered due to Wuhan Viral Pneumonia cases in 2019 and was named by the World
Health Organization on January 12, 2020. WHO confirmed that COVID-19 can cause colds, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and more serious diseases such as
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). This kit is helpful for the auxiliary diagnosis of coronavirus infection. The test results are for clinical reference only and cannot be used
as a basis for confirming or excluding cases alone.
[Intended use]
STANDARD Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 present in human serum,
plasma or whole blood. This test is for in vitro professional diagnostic use and intended as an aid to diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in convalescent phase of patient with
clinical symptoms with SARS-CoV-2 infection. It provides only an initial screening test result. More specific alternative diagnosis methods should be performed in order to obtain
the confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
[Test principle]
STANDARD Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test has two pre-coated lines, “C” Control line, “G” Test line for the COVID-19 IgG Device and “C” Control line, “M” Test line for the COVID-19
IgM device on the surface of the nitrocellulose membrane. Both the control line and test line in the result window are not visible before applying any specimens. Monoclonal
anti-COVID19 antibody is coated on the control line region and Monoclonal anti-human IgG is coated on the test line region in IgG device and Monoclonal anti-human IgM is
coated on the test line region in IgM device. Recombinant COVID-19 nucleocapsid protein conjugated with colloidal gold particles are used as detectors for COVID-19 IgG Device
and COVID-19 IgM Device. During the test, SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the Specimen interact with recombinant COVID-19 nucleocapsid protein with colloidal gold particles making
antibody-antigen gold particle complex. This complex migrates on the membrane via capillary action until the test line, where it will be captured by the Monoclonal anti-human
IgG antibody or Monoclonal anti-human IgM antibody. A violet test line would be visible in the result window if SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are present in the Specimen. The intensity
of violet test line will vary depending upon the amount SARS-CoV-2 antibodies present in the Specimen. If SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are not present in the Specimen, then no color
appears in the test line. The control line is used for procedural control, and should always appear if the test procedure is performed properly and the test reagents of the control
line are working.

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
[Serum]
1. Collect the whole blood into the commercially available plain tube, NOT containing anti-coagulants such as heparin, EDTA, Sodium citrate by venipuncture and leave to settle
for 30 minutes for blood coagulation and then centrifuge blood to get serum specimen of supernatant.
2. If serum in the plain tube is stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C/36-46°F, the specimen can be used for testing within 1 week after collection. Using the specimen in the long-term
keeping more than 1 week can cause non-specific reaction. For prolonged storage, it should be at below -40°C/-40°F.
3. They should be brought to room temperature prior to use.
[Plasma]
1. Collect the venous blood into the commercially available anti-coagulant tube such as heparin, EDTA, Sodium citrate by venipuncture and centrifuge blood to get plasma
specimen.
2. If plasma in an anti-coagulant tube is stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C/36-46°F, the specimen can be used for testing within 1 week after collection. Using the specimen in the
long-term keeping more than 1 week can cause non-specific reaction. For prolonged storage, it should be at below -40°C/-40°F.
3. They should be brought to room temperature prior to use.
[Whole blood]
• Capillary whole blood
1. Capillary whole blood should be collected aseptically by fingertip.
2. Clean the area to be lanced with an alcohol swab.
3. Squeeze the end of the fingertip and pierce with a sterile lancet.
4. Using a capillary tube, collect the 10μl of capillary whole blood to the black line of the capillary tube.
5. The capillary whole blood must be tested immediately after collection.
• Venous whole blood
1. Collect the venous whole blood into the commercially available anti-coagulant tube such as heparin, EDTA , Sodium citrate by venipuncture.
2. If venous whole blood in an anti-coagulant tube is stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C/36-46°F, the specimen can be used for testing within 1-2 days after collection.
3. Do not use hemolyzed blood Specimens.
CAUTION
• As known relevant interference, hemolytic Specimen, rheumatoid factors-contained Specimen and lipemic, icteric Specimen can lead to impair
the test results.
• Use separate disposable materials for each Specimen in order to avoid cross-contamination which can cause erroneous results.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
[Clinical evaluation]
Performance characteristic for the STANDARD Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test for rapid detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was established in retrospective, multi-center,
randomized, single-blinded study conducted at a trial site in KOREA during the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation. A total of 504 retrospective specimens were tested using
the STANDARD Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test. These specimens consisted of serum from PCR positive or negative confirmed patients. The performance of the STANDARD
Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test were compared to a commercialized molecular assay. Although the STANDARD Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test allows to test for IgM and IgG
separately, due to the differing inter-patient time response to the virus, any individual with positive result for the IgM or the IgG test should be read as a positive for anti-SARSCoV-
2 antibodies. The combined test result (positive for IgM and/or IgG or negative for IgM and/or IgG) was used to calculate the total test sensitivity and specificity.
• Test sensitivity
The seroconversion time of IgM and IgG antibodies varies from person to person, but it was estimated to be around 7 days after onset of symptom4, 5. The STANDARD Q
COVID-19 IgM/IgG Duo Test showed 94.33% of sensitivity using specimens from patients 7 days after symptom onset (combined IgM+IgG).
