Antibody Test – Serology looks for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the blood to determine if there was a past infection.

A blood sample is taken (finger prick, similar to a blood sugar test) and tested on-site.

Antibodies are formed by the body to fight off infections. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the first antibody that is formed against a germ, so it appears on tests first, usually within 1-2 weeks. The body then forms immunoglobulin G (IgG), which appears on tests about 2 weeks after the illness starts. IgM usually disappears from the blood within a few months, but IgG can last for years.

Why is COVID-19 testing important?

 

As a healthcare provider, Xcell Medical Group has a unique opportunity to help during this pandemic: appropriately testing for the virus that causes COVID-19 will make a significant impact on our patients and our communities in slowing the spread.

Testing is the only way to confirm if you have or have had COVID-19. Knowing you’re infected is important to protect your family and the people you encounter.

Testing helps reduce the spread of the virus. When someone tests positive for COVID-19, they can be isolated at home or, if needed, in a hospital.

Testing is also crucial to learn more about how the virus spreads and how prevalent it remains in a given community.

By being proactive and getting tested, you can help slow the spread of infection and prevent future outbreaks.
