nCoV-2019 antibody test

Mai, 2020: The test is the third granted emergency approval by the FDA in a urgent procedure and the first commercially available. It gives quick results (18 Min.) and will be accepted worldwide in what has been touted one of Roche's biggest deals. [1] The test is not based on the PCR method (which directly detects parts of viral RNA) but addresses antibodies built by the immune system after 1-2 weeks of contact. These may not be specific with a risk for false positives stemming from common cold viruses. The test is self-approved by Roche with the FDA merely giving green light. [2]
