Joaquim Chaves Saúde | Serological Testing - Where?

Serological testing is carried out at any Joaquim Chaves Saúde Collection Station or Medical Clinic without prior appointment.


These are laboratory tests that detect anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) antibodies, in other words, they indicate if there has ever been contact with the Coronavirus.


Most of the scientific studies recently published on serological testing indicate that the IgM class of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies can be detected 7 days after the onset of the symptoms associated with COVID-19 and the IgG class of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies can be detected 14 to 15 days after the appearance of symptoms.


Serological testing involves detecting antibodies of the following classes: IgG, IgM and IgA. The tests provided, one for each type of antibody, are performed using an enzyme immunoassay method, commonly named ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay).
