They can be used to protect family members, friends, and colleagues. We use antigen tests approved by the ministry of health from brands such as Roche or Siemens. The PCR Laboratory tests are produced and evaluated in Germany. They comply with the regulations of international travel.
The rapid antibody test shows whether your body has formed antibodies against the corona virus during a previous infection. Unlike the antigen test or the PCR test, the antibody test is not suitable for acute diagnosis and therefore does not reliably detect a current infection.

For the antibody test, 2-3 drops of blood from the tip of the finger are analyzed.
