Antigen Q&A
What is antigen testing?
An antigen test is a laboratory screen that detects COVID-19. During an antigen test, your provider collects a sample of mucus from both nostrils and sends it to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory looks at your sample under a microscope and analyzes it for the presence of antigens –– protein markers that occur on the outside of the novel coronavirus.
