SARS-CoV-2 total antibody ELISA

The Wantai CE marked SARS-CoV-2 total antibody ELISA from Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic kit for the fast, high-throughput antibody screening of patients suspected of COVID-19 infection. This kit has been extensively evaluated and validated in Europe demonstrating a high specificity (>98%) in clinical studies.

This two-step incubation antigen “sandwich” enzyme immunoassay utilises polystyrene microwell strips pre-coated with recombinant SARS-CoV-2 antigen. Patient’s serum or plasma specimen is added and during the first incubation, specific SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are captured inside the wells if present. This kit contains reagents sufficient for testing of maximum of 91 specimens in a test run.SARS-CoV-2 Ab ELISA

Kit indications
The kit detects total antibodies (IgG, IgM and IgA) against the S1-RBD of SARS-CoV-2 which is indicative of:
• An immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients suspected of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection
• Detection of seroconversion in patients following known recent SARS-CoV-2 infection
• Test may also be used to aid in the diagnosis of acute or past SARS-CoV-2 infection in conjunction with other tests and clinical information

Nature evaluation
In a recent Nature communications article, this kit was evaluated and compared to seven other commercial COVID-19 serology assays and the following was stated:
"The Wantai ELISA detecting total immunoglobulins against the receptor binding domain of SARS CoV-2, has the best overall characteristics to detect functional antibodies in different stages and severity of disease, including the potential to set a cut-off indicating the presence of protective antibodies."
