Rapid tests (diagnostics)

Rapid diagnostic tests are medical test products that can quickly and easily diagnose the presence of certain diseases or conditions. These tests are usually performed within minutes and provide a quick result without the need for extensive laboratory testing. Frequently used diagnostic rapid tests are for example Corona rapid tests, combination tests, pregnancy tests, drug tests and There are also many other types of rapid diagnostictests.

Rapid tests

1. types of rapid tests

The rapid tests are divided into tests for professional use (professional test) and for lay use (lay test). There are tests that only detect one disease, but there are also so-called combi tests. These detect several different diseases in one test.

The following types of rapid tests are available from parahealth:

Test type Properties
Corona tests
  • For the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen
  • The tests can often detect infections at an early stage - for the most part also with the Omikron variant.
Combination tests
  • Combi tests detect several different types of pathogen. For example, there are 2in1, 3in1 or 4in1 combination tests.
  • Popular are 4in1 combination tests, such as the Safecare lay test. This detects infections with corona, RSV, influenza A and B.
Tests for the detection of bacteria
  • These tests can detect infections caused by bacteria
  • For example, the JusCheck Strep-A test detects infections with streptococcus A
Drug tests
  • Other tests can detect drugs.
  • These include the Clungene multi-drug test, which detects 12 different drugs in urine.

2. areas of application

Rapid tests for diagnostics are mostly used in medical facilities such as doctors' surgeries, hospitals and clinics to make quick diagnoses and initiate rapid treatment.

Rapid antigen tests for professional use are suitable for medically trained personnel and therefore for clinics, nursing homes, doctors' surgeries, pharmacies, test centers and companies with medically trained personnel, for example. They can also be used by laypersons to monitor or diagnose the presence of certain conditions at home. Thanks to their simplicity, lay tests are suitable for all companies and employees, as they can carry out the tests themselves. Drug tests, for example, are particularly suitable in prisons or for the police.

Thanks to the quick and easy detection of infections using rapid tests, appropriate treatment measures can be initiated promptly and thus contribute to infection control. However, it is important to note that rapid tests are not always 100% accurate and can give false-positive or false-negative results.
