How to use the Salixium COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test kit?
- Take out the extraction buffer tube, press and insert it onto the designated tube holder (dotted circle) on the box. Peel off the aluminum seal. (Be careful not to pour out the liquid)
- Remove one disposable swab from the sterile packaging. Swab the fabric tip on the inside of your left cheek by rubbing up and down for at least 5 times. Repeat the same on the right cheek. Then, swab the palate 5 times.
- Put swab 1 into the extraction tube containing buffer.
- Remove another disposable swab from the sterile packaging. Insert only the fabric tip of the swab gently into 1 nostril until you feel a slight resistance (approximately 2cm up your nose). Roll the swab around the inside of the nostril, making 5 complete circles. Repeat the same for the other nostril.
- Put both swabs into the same extraction tube.
- Immerse the swab heads in the extraction buffer completely; vigorously mix at least 10 times.

How to read the result for Salixium Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Home Test Kit
POSITIVE: Two lines are showing up on C (Control) and T (Test) line. If you are positive, you must upload the test result on MySejahtera so that the authorities are informed. You should also head over to a nearby clinic/ hospital to conduct a PCR test for confirmation.
NEGATIVE: If there’s only 1 line showing up on C, it means you are most likely not infected by the Covid-19 virus at this point, or there is not enough virus in the sample to accurately measure. If you have been experiencing symptoms, please head over to the nearest hospital for a proper checkup.
INVALID: If the line is only showing up at T or there’s no line appearing at all. The test is most likely invalid. There might be multiple reasons for this, but it is recommended that you properly discard this and test with a new kit.
