Description
Used to determine an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 indicating recent or prior infection.
Special note from test page: On May 19, 2021, the FDA issued a safety communication reiterating that “antibody testing should not be used to evaluate a person’s level of immunity or protection from COVID-19 at any time, and especially after the person received a COVID-19 vaccination.” Visit http://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/antibody-testing-not-currently-recommended-assess-immunity-after-covid-19-vaccination-fda-safety for more information.
Expected turnaround is within 1-3 days, although this may vary depending on other tests ordered for the same blood draw, and expected variation with testing.
