May 14, 2020—ARUP Laboratories announced it is making a second COVID-19 IgG antibody test available nationwide.
The test, manufactured by Euroimmun, is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and detects IgG antibodies specific to the S1 domain of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. It is reported as negative, indeterminate, or positive and will include an index value that can be used to measure the level of antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 and to monitor changes in the antibody response to the virus over time with repeat testing.
The Euroimmun test adds to ARUP’s suite of COVID-19 tests offered nationwide, which includes an antibody test manufactured by Abbott and a molecular diagnostic test to detect active SARS-CoV-2 infection.
