According to The Food and Drug Administration, COVID-19 antibody testing may indicate that “the person has been exposed to the virus and developed antibodies against it, which may mean that person has at least some immunity to the coronavirus.”
Sonora Quest expects to perform up to 3,000 tests daily inititally at their core laboratory in Tempe, Ariz.
Sonora Quest Labs will then continue to scale up testing capacity on the antibody platform.
Depending on demand, Sonora Quest reports antibody test results in three to six days from specimen collection.
To obtain the most reliable result, antibody testing should occur at least 10 to 14 days after symptoms appear.
