Corona Diagnostics at CeGaT in Tübingen
It is essential to obtain clarity about whether one was or is infected with COVID-19 to lead an everyday life – even during the pandemic. CeGaT’s Corona Diagnostics offers two fast, high-quality tests that can detect active and past infections with SARS-CoV-2.
Coronavirus Test
Testing for active infection with SARS-CoV-2 by detection of viral RNA
The test determines whether a person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of testing. A nasopharynx swab is required to take a sample. A negative result excludes an active coronavirus infection with a high probability. The medical report is available the next day.
This test addresses persons who need evidence of their current infection status (e.g. for travel).
Corona Antibody Test
Testing for past infection with SARS-CoV-2 by detection of antibodies
The Corona Antibody Test determines whether a person has developed antibodies against the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). A blood sample (serum) is required for the test. This test is aimed at people who would like know whether they may have gone through a COVID-19 disease unnoticed.
