Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test (Nasal)

The Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test (Nasal) is designed for direct detection of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. The diagnostic antigen test works by swabbing the anterior nasal region. Due to the shallow insertion depth of about 2 cm, sample collection is particularly patient-friendly. This minimizes the typical unpleasant side effects often described by the patient with conventional SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, such as coughing, sneezing or gag reflex. Reduced training requirements enable widespread use at the point-of-care. The test result appears on the test cassette within 15 minutes.

Improved usability & sustainability compared to its predecessor

The new version of the Panbio COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test has been designed with a focus on sustainability, transportability, functionality and ease of use. Instead of separate extraction tubes, caps and a bottle of buffer solution, the new version now includes pre-filled buffer tubes with integrated drip cap.  In order to reduce the amount of waste, the length of the swabs has also been reduced from 15 cm to 8 cm, and the tube holder has been reduced from 9 holes to 5. This has made it possible to downsize the packaging and reduce paper waste.
