Recovery from infection with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus produces anti-viral IgG antibodies in the blood, similarly to vaccination. Two to three weeks after getting infected or as a result of vaccination, antibodies are produced and they will remain for at least six months. This test detects the presence of antibodies and, unlike the rapid test, also shows their numerical level at the time of sampling.

A positive result indicates recovery from COVID-19 disease, late-stage disease or the presence of antibodies resulting from vaccination.

If you want to know whether you have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. We recommend taking the quantitative test for the detection of coronavirus IgG antibodies at the earliest two to three weeks after the start of symptoms, a positive PCR test result or vaccination.

PLEASE NOTE! The IgG antibody test is not suitable for initial diagnosis of the presence of coronavirus! If a coronavirus infection is suspected, a PCR test should be done.

The antibodies are determined from venous blood, no previous fasting is required.
