Looks like this test shows a positive result if your viral load is high (which is good), but not when your viral load is low (which is bad). By 'low viral load', I mean those that are typically picked up by NHS antigen test kit or ones like BinaxNow.But lots of people here seem to miss the point that one can sometimes be PCR positive and antigen test negative, since PCR is waaay more sensitive than ANY antigen test. So, discordance with PCR alone is not a valid reason to say an antigen test doesn't work. But the real problem with this antigen test is that it doesn't seem to detect low viral loads typically detected by UK/US antigen tests.So, this test seems to work if you have a moderate to high infectious level (ie viral load), but not low level. Thus, my personal judgement is that a positive test with this kit means almost certainly positive, but negative may still mean positive. So if you have symptoms and this shows negative, I'll still assume I may be positive.

I received all 10 packets but I deducted 1 star because 1 packet didn’t have the liquid. It’s a loss of 1 kit and money. Hope the seller decides to refund or provide a replacement.On the product front it’s easy to use and provides accurate results

Update 11/1/22. After my initial 1 star rating on the packaging and open kitbox complaint to the distributor and Company Meril; the Company immediately reached back and offered to send properly packed kit.Home usage of kit is straightforward and easy. Follow the process described in the helpful YouTube video or illustrated printed guide. Remember this is a RAT based test - f/u with a RT PCR test if deemed to be necessary.

Before going for fullTest at a lab to clear our doubt

I was sick and it said positive. Confirmed by RT PCR. A week later I stopped getting fevers and it said not positive (not confirmed by RT PCR). So I'd say it works :).I don't know the variant I had. My symptoms were fever (~104F initially) and cold (running nose). No cough or body aches or loss of smell/taste etc. And I was double vaccinated by Covishield, last dose in mid September, first in June.

I am amazed on how simple and accurate this test is. I am an immunoassay product developer and this product exhibits accurate results. I had tested myself on day 3, day 5 and day 8 post symptoms and I can see a curve happening which indicates the intial increase followed by the decrease in the viral antigen load. I would definitely vote for this product, worked for me and my mother.

The test kit works perfectly if you want to check if you have contracted COVID or not. However, do not rely on the kit to see if you have recovered from COVID. It will indicate negative even though your viral load is high enough to show positive results in RT-PCR tests.
