KUALA LUMPUR (July 16): The first Malaysian made Covid-19 rapid antigen self-testing kit — Salixium Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Test — will be available for public purchase this coming Monday, said MeDKAD Sdn Bhd.

MeDKAD project manager Syahriah Razak said the Salixium kit can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in human saliva and anterior nasal swab specimens.

The rapid test takes 10 to 15 minutes to perform and the result is judged by visible bands which confirm the presence of the antigen.

Founded in 2016 and based in Shah Alam, Selangor, MeDKAD is a health technology company that empower companies to better manage their medical benefits.
