Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibody test detect?
It identifies antibodies produced after a past COVID-19 infection by detecting immune response to the nucleocapsid protein of the virus.
Does this test detect vaccine-induced antibodies?
Most COVID-19 vaccines target the spike protein, so this test mainly detects antibodies from natural infection, not vaccination.
Who should consider taking this test?
People who suspect they had COVID-19 earlier or want to confirm past exposure can benefit from this test.
Is fasting needed before the test?
No fasting or special preparation is required. Metropolis Healthcare performs this test with a simple blood sample.
How accurate are the results from Metropolis Healthcare?
Metropolis ensures high accuracy with advanced immunoassay technology, expert validation, and strict quality control procedures.
How long after infection should this test be done?
It is best taken at least 10–14 days after suspected infection, as antibodies take time to develop.
Can this test diagnose active COVID-19?
No. It detects past infection only. For active infection, an RT-PCR or antigen test is required.
How can the results help?
Understanding past exposure helps with clinical evaluation, post-infection monitoring, and long-term health assessment.
