Antigene tests, are they reliable?
Yes and no.
As the first clinic in Sweden and now one of two we offer antigene test that is analysed with a microfluidic immunofluorescence assay method. This gives a 97.6% sensitivity after 24 hours
with symptoms. The public health care sector in and araund Gothenburg, VGR, will start using the same test.
There is also lateral-flow antigene test with a sensitivity around 70-80%.
Folkhälsomyndigheten does not recommend the use of tests with sensitivity under 80%, read more in Swedish. This is the antigene test used by
other clinics (written 2020-12-05).
