The Buchanan Science rapid test for immunity to SARS-CoV-2 uses patented methodology* to quantify antibody levels to three specific epitopes that have been identified as protective and neutralizing for the virus.
Since the BeSure Double Check test methodology is quantitative, it will identify whether a given person’s antibody levels are protective for 1, 2, or 3 separate epitopes or none. For those that are not immune or only partially protected, it will identify which specific protective and available monoclonal antibody treatments would be helpful to provide protection against Covid-19 infection.
