TC19 is an easy-to-use, adaptable and quick non-invasive saliva test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19.

Clinically proven to detect low levels of the virus in asymptomatic patients.

TC19 has  92% sensitivity and 98% specificity for the virus in asymptomatic people when compared to PCR. Current LFD tests have reported variable results in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic populations having failed to detect 6 out of 10 positive PCR cases.

TC19 data is available on request.

Why do I need TC19?

TC19 can detect the presence of the virus in saliva in under 15 minutes from saliva collection without the need for

  • invasive sample collection.
  • expensive laboratory equipment – each kit is provided with full instructions for use and a 2-minute online training link.

TC19 is a point-of-care/ point-of-entry test available in kits of 7 or 100 tests.

TC19 technology?

TC19 is an antibody-free antigenic test based on the technology developed at Tissue Click Ltd. The test can be updated to target new and emerging variants in days and manufactured at a large scale in weeks.

The patented technology can be adapted to provide point-of-care testing for the rapid identification of viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

How long does the test take?

TC19 can provide a positive or negative result within 15 minutes of saliva collection.

What equipment is needed for the test?

The TC19 kit provides all of the eqipment needed to complete the test, a clean container for saliva collection is recommended (not provided)

How long can the kit be stored?

TC19 can be stored in the freezer for 12 months before use, once reconstituted the kit can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
