Immunofluorescent Technology The test is designed as a fluorescent immunoassay to qualitatively detect the nucleocapsid protein antigens present in SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B in direct nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs. Furthermore, the tests were designed for use with the Sofia and Sofia 2 analyzers.
