The Finnish diagnostics company Actim Oy has recently received a CE mark for the new Actim SARS-CoV-2 rapid test. The test is intended for healthcare professionals and it detects the nucleoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the nasopharyngeal swab sample. The test has been shown to perform reliably with different variants of the coronavirus, such as the UK, Indian, and South African virus variants.

Actim SARS-CoV-2 is a user-friendly, one-step dipstick test that gives test results in 15 minutes on site with no need for laboratory equipment. The test is specific for the novel coronavirus and does not cross-react with common viruses, such as other coronaviruses (229E, OC43), type A or B influenza, or enteroviruses. It provides 98 % (Ct <30) sensitivity and 100 % specificity ensuring highly reliable, rapid, and accurate testing of the current coronavirus infection.
