Eclia Antibody Test

Antibody testing is NOT a test for the virus. Instead, it is used to detect immunoglobulins (Ig) produced by a person in response to infections or other inciting agents.

Enhanced chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) is NOT a molecular test like RT-PCR. It is a proprietary technology based on the principles of CLIA. As an added tool to assess patients, antibody testing may be considered in combination with RT-PCR since onset of community exposure may be difficult to ascertain.
