COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The purpose of the IgG and IgM antibody blood test is to determine whether someone has been exposed and developed antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 virus. 

Access Medical Laboratories is a CLIA certified High Complexity Lab. The IgG & IgM antibody testing is performed on dedicated, automated instrumentation, which is listed with the FDA.

What does this mean? If your test result is negative, there is a 10.1% possibility that you actually do have antibodies, but they were not detected or that you have been exposed to COVID-19 and your body has not yet developed a detectable amount of antibodies in the bloodstream. 

What does this mean? If your test is positive, there is 2.5% that the test is detecting antibodies to a different virus, but not COVID-19.

Test results are available in 2-3 business days after blood draw. Access Labs provides a quantitative report, which not only reports whether antibodies are detected, but also quantifies the amount of IgM and IgG detected.
