Serology Test for COVID-19

Cellex and Mayo Clinic  qSARS-COV 2 IgG/IgM Rapid Test has been approved by FDA as EUA  to check for  COVID 19 Immunity from previous Exposure.  We would like to get a kit to check if any of our front line health workers have developed immunity to the virus.  


Has anyone got this kit yet and how do you get it? I cannot find a vendor for it. There are more information on this kit than the other that Henry Schein ( Biomedomics DMG Test ) is shipping out this week.

I wish I could help. I haven't had any luck either.


I have tried to get in touch with Cellex and I haven't had any luck. If anyone has any contact information for a sales representative for this company that they are willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank You,


Kelly


Hi,


 


I was told by McKesson that the Cellex kit will be over a year coming out of China. I am wary of all information regarding Covid antibody testing right now however.
Caveat Emptor!

Jean,  


 Did you say ONE YEAR before we get a Cellex kit? No wonder they did not include vendors in their product insert. Maybe they can do more studies on it while waiting a year.

I did find this information on Cellex kit. https://cellexcovid.com


phone on this site is 800-780-3358 but preference is email contacts: sales@cellex.us and info@cellex.us


Is any one ordering any of the COVID antibody test kits yet?


thanks


 

I received a response from Cellex.  At this point, they are prioritizing products to hard-hit areas first.  No date on when I will receive some. 


Henry Schein has another similar product that is not approved for EUA, but is listed on the FDA's FAQ page.  The cost is $30 for both IgG and IgM. 

We received the cellex kits from our state emergency management division.


We are seeing that the positive QC does not give a positive result consistently for both IgG and IgM.  We are hesitant to report patients if the QC doesn't give a positive result for both.


Is anyone else, using Cellex, experiencing this same issue?
