Although antigen tests are cheaper than molecular
tests, they suffer from a much higher risk of yielding false results1. In
consequence, FDA requires all antigen tests to be performed repeatedly over several
days to improve their performance2.
However, this not only multiplies
the cost, but more importantly, delays the correct diagnosis, and risks missing
the optimal window for treatment.
Aptitude Metrix® tests are comparable in
cost to repeat antigen testing, and put your mind at ease by delivering
PCR-quality results from the get-go.
