How to Interpret the result of the Genfarm Covid-19 Saliva Home Test Kit
Invalid: If the quality control tine (C) is not observed, it will be invalid regardless of whether there is a detection line (T) (as shown in the figure above), user should retake the test with another kit.
Positive: If both the quality control line (C) and the detection line (T) appears, SARS-CoV-2 antigen has been detected and the result is positive for antigen.
Negative: If there is only a quality control line (C), the detection line (T) is colorless, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 antigen has not been detected and the result is negative. Though, it may not necessarily mean that you do not have Covid.
