Additional Technical Information

Ordering Recommendation

Use for the detection of IgG antibodies against the spike protein (S1) of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) that develop in response to natural infection with SARS-CoV-2 or from a COVID-19 vaccination. There are no current recommendations for assessing COVID-19 vaccine response.

To reduce the likelihood of a false-positive result, the CDC Interim Guidelines for COVID-19 Antibody Testing suggest using an orthogonal testing algorithm so that individuals positive by one antibody test are retested with a second antibody test (refer to COVID-19 IgG, Qualitative by CIA 3002776).
