Nasopharyngeal Swab Test Procedure
1. Just before testing, add Extraction Reagent to the test tube up to
the fill line (250 µL).

bottom of the tube so the swab head is compressed. Rotate the
swab a minimum of five (5) times to obtain optimal results.
Keep swab in the tube for
one (1) to two (2) minutes.
3. Express all liquid from the swab head by squeezing the tube as the
swab is removed. Discard the swab.

pointing down. Do not handle or remove the
Test Strip for fifteen (15) minutes.
