When is an Mpox antigen test useful?

Mpox typically presents with fever, lymphadenopathy and characteristic skin lesions (vesicles, pustules). The rapid test enables initial diagnostic assessment directly at the point of care – particularly relevant for:

• Patients with suspicious skin lesions and relevant travel or exposure history
• Close contacts of confirmed Mpox cases
• Screening in emergency departments and infectious disease clinics
• Situations where PCR results are not available in a timely manner

Test procedure

From blood, serum or plasma

1. Prepare – bring test device, sample and buffer to room temperature (15–30 °C).
2. Collect the sample – disinfect the fingertip, prick with a lancet, collect the blood drop with the provided dropper.
3. Run the test – apply 1 drop of whole blood (40–50 µl) into the specimen well, then add 1 drop of buffer solution (approx. 3.5–5.8 µl).
4. Read the result – after 15 minutes. Do not interpret after 20 minutes.

From skin lesion exudate

1. Prepare the cassette – remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and place on a flat surface.
2. Collect the sample – insert the disc with filter into the specimen collection tube.
3. Run the test – add the extracted solution to the specimen well, apply 3 drops.
4. Read the result – after 15 minutes. Do not interpret after 20 minutes.
