Corona at home - lab test

Do you want to know if you have had corona? We offer you the corona collection at home - lab test
The test is available for people who have had flu symptoms 14 days ago, including: cold, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, mild cough, elevation, fever and chest tightness. To determine whether it was an active Corona infection, a few drops of blood are collected by finger prick and sent. An accredited laboratory determines whether there are IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the blood. After 2 working days, the results can be requested online with a unique login code. All results are authorized by the medical microbiologist and are anonymous. Immunity Immunity is not established with a positive test. Experts are still doing plenty of research into whether immunity occurs and how powerful it is. A previous infection will most likely provide some protection against SARS-CoV-2, for this and the next season if the virus does not change too much. Reliability By detecting antibodies in the blood, a Corona infection can be established, which can offer peace and security. The Corona home sampling lab test is an approved laboratory test performed by expert personnel. The laboratory is ISO certified. This means regular checks on quality and professionalism. The blood is analyzed by two ELISA tests with a sensitivity and specificity between 96-100%.
Frequently asked questions Corona collection at home - lab test
  • The government says no self-tests have been approved yet, why are you selling this test?

    The Consumedix home collection lab test is only a collection set, not a complete self-test. This means that you take blood yourself by means of a finger prick (such as when measuring sugar). This blood must then be sent to the accredited laboratory (Microbe & lab) with which we work. An approved CEIVD test is performed at the lab.

  • Do you use a self-test?

    No. Self-testing means that you can do the test YOURSELF at home and also get a result AT HOME (such as a pregnancy test). In that case, no laboratory or doctor is involved. The self-tests are as yet unreliable and not suitable for home use. The IGJ therefore prohibits self-tests that do not have CE certification in the Netherlands.

  • Will a rapid test be used?

    No, for the time being, rapid tests are insufficiently reliable. This has also been confirmed after an advice from the OMT based on research into 16 rapid tests and a recent advice from the RIVM (dated 12-05-2020). We do expect that good rapid tests will be launched on the market in the future.

  • Is this test reliable?

    We think it is important that our test is not only accessible, but also as reliable as possible. We therefore only offer approved laboratory tests that are carried out by expert personnel. The laboratory is ISO certified. This means that they are regularly checked for quality and professionalism and that they always pass these checks well.

  • This test is not on the approved test list of the RIVM?

    That's right, this is only an administration kit and not a self-test. We work together with an accredited laboratory. Approved CE-IVD tests are used in the lab. The lab meets all ISO and certification conditions.

  • If I have a positive result, am I sure I have had Corona?

    The laboratory measures whether antibodies are present in the blood, if there are, you will receive a positive test result. This means that you have been in contact with the Corona (SARS-COV-2) virus. Only when you have been in contact can antibodies be present in the body.

  • Am I immune if I've had Corona?

    Unfortunately, this is not yet clear. A lot of research is still being done on this at the moment. This test method only shows that you have antibodies.

  • I currently have complaints, can I use this test?

    No, this collection set is only suitable to determine whether you have antibodies and therefore have been in contact with the Corona (SARS-COV-2) virus more than 2 weeks ago.

  • Why should I buy a home test?

    We offer a collection set. So it is not a self-test. In view of government measures, it is easier and safer to collect the material at home. The test and analysis takes place in the laboratory. Tests that give the results at home are as yet unreliable and prohibited. The laboratory is ISO certified and expert employees carry out the test. The medical microbiologist checks the results and shares them via a secure portal. So you only have to send the collected blood in a return box with a freepost number.

  • Is my result anonymous?

    Yes, the result is completely anonymous. The lab doesn't know who is testing them. The code in the box is unique and all that is needed to perform a test. On the online results page you only need to enter this code, no other data.

  • Will I be reimbursed for the test from the health insurance company?

    Unfortunately this is not yet possible. At the moment there are no tests that are reimbursed by a health insurer.
