Antibody tests can help reveal past exposure by detecting antibodies in the blood, which are produced in response to a specific infection like COVID-19. Read more about COVID-19 on the CDC’s website. Antigen testing can detect the actual virus at the very early stages of infection.
Live in the Los Angeles Area? Antigen tests and IgG/IgM tests are explained below.

Note: Antibody or Antigen tests should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose to exclude COVID-19 infection or to inform infection status. This test manufacturer has applied for FDA review under the Emergency Use Authorization Program (EUA) but the test is currently not FDA-approved
We also offer PCR lab tests. We do a nasal swab and send it to the lab. We can have results in as little as 8 hours. This is usually the preferred test needed for flight travel.
We offer PCR testing, rapid Antigen and antibody tests at your office
Our licensed in-house physicians are available to travel to your home or office located anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area to administer these tests by appointment, at a reasonable rate.
Oakridge Dynamics has secured an abundant and reliable supply of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Antibody (serology) tests to be administered by our own in-house state licensed physicians at a place and time of your choosing. In layman terms, this testanalyzes a finger prick drop of blood, much like a diabetes test. It is designed to detect antibodies (IgG and IgM) that attack the Coronavirus COVID-19 disease. Our testing kits detect both IgM and IgG antibodies delivering over 99% accurate results within 15 minutes.
We offer three types of tests which are available for COVID-19 testing:
1. Rapid Antibody (Serology) - Serology detects antibodies (both IgG and IgM developed by the individual’s immune system to attack against the COVID-19 disease to determine if there was a past infection. A blood sample is drawn from the patient using a finger prick and tested on site with a highly accurate result (over 99% accuracy) produced within approximately 15 minutes. A
positive antibody test means that the person being tested was infected with COVID-19 in the past and that their immune system developed antibodies to fight it off.
2. Rapid Antigen - Antigen tests, detecting early virus transmission, look for pieces of proteins that make up the COVID-19 virus to determine if the person has an active infection. A nasal or throat swab is taken and tested offsite with results made available in a matter of hours. A positive antigen test means that the individual being tested has an active COVID-19 infection.
3. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) - PCR tests look for pieces of the virus that causes COVID-19 in the nose, throat or other areas in the respiratory tract to determine if the person has an active infection. A nasal or throat swab is taken and tested offsite with results made available in a matter
of hours. A positive PCR test means that the individual being tested has an active COVID-19 infection.
Despite the recent lifting of certain restrictions in the State of California, the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing pandemic. As of the date of this letter, more than 5.8 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, resulting in more than 359,000 deaths. As many of us return to work and are in close contact with colleagues and clients alike, medical professionals continue to urge all of us to take precautionary measures such as hand washing, face masks, and social distancing. Another key precaution is the regular administration of our test.
The culmination of many factors has led to the provision of routine testing services being substantially hindered in Los Angeles County and unfortunately more individuals are likely to be infected before proven vaccines and treatments are tested and approved. Currently, there is no known vaccine or specific antiviral treatment. This however does not mean we cannot take preventative measures to protect ourselves, business and the public at large as more and more cities across the country ease shelter in place restrictions.
Some of the benefits of having an antibody test is include: An individual’s health care provider believes a patient may have been exposed to the coronavirus which causes COVID19 based on a patient’s current or previous signs and symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, difficulty breathing); An individual lives in or has recently traveled to a place where transmission of COVID-19 is known to occur; An individual has been in close contact with an individual suspected of or confirmed to have COVID-19; or an individual has recovered from COVID-19
Even if you decide not to avail yourself of our services, we urge you and your business to implement all necessary preventive measures including hand washing, urging others to cover their mouths when coughing, maintaining and enforcing social distancing protocols, wearing face masks in public settings, and monitoring and self-isolation for people who suspect they are infected.

COVID-19 is a new strain of the virus that belongs to the Coronavirus family. This family causes many diseases such as the common cold and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)among others.Transmission of the coronavirus can happen from animal to man. The spread of the virus occurs when an infected person sneezes or coughs. The virus uses mucous membranes like the eyes, nose, and mouth to enter the body.
The three core symptoms of coronavirus infection are fever, cough, and shortness of breath.If patients are not treated appropriately, complications like pneumonia, kidney failure, and death may follow.
The rapid COVID test kit is a quick, safe, and noninvasive method to check if you have coronavirus. When exposed to any type of microbe, the human body produces an immune response. White blood cells are activated and begin the fight against the infection. Part of your immune response depends on the production of antibodies that battle infections.
The rapid COVID test kit detects antibodies against COVID-19in your bloodstream. There are two types of antibodies that the human body produces when exposed to COVID-19: IgM and IgG. IgM antibodies typically rise 1 week after infection whereas IgG starts rising 2 weeks after infection.
We also offer rapid Antigen testing which detects the virus at the earliest stage possible. This test detects the actual virus itself not the antibodies.
We have 2 types of Rapid tests
1. Antibody Test - Quick & easy finger prick test - have results in 15 minutes. It tests BOTH antibodies IgG and IgM to let you know if you are recently infected or had a past Covid infection.
2. Antigen Test - Quick & easy shallow nasal swab test - have results in 15 minutes. It tests for antigens at the very early virus transmission stage.
We also have PCR lab tests available. We simply swab you, run it to the lab and have your results in a matter of hours. This is a commonly required test for air travel.
The rapid COVID test kit we offer is made in the USA. We do not import cheap overseas tests.
The rapid COVID test kit looks very similar to standard pregnancy tests. It only requires a blood sample to detect antibodies against coronavirus in your bloodstream. Our physicians will perform a simple finger prick, obtain your blood sample, and add a few drops of your blood sample into the testing well to check if the antibodies are present. Our Antigen test is done by nasal swab.
Unlike the standard lab COVID nasal swab test, the rapid COVID test is much faster. The kit analyzes your blood sample on the spot with no need for laboratory specialists or special equipment. Results are usually available within 15 minutes.The antigen test is just as quick, 15 minutes, but we use a nasal swab.The rapid COVID test has been used and verified as a reliable testing method in China and Europe. The FDA strongly advises that, while still under investigation, individuals who take the rapid test still need to undergo the nasal swab test as well which is sent to the lab
If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath or have been in contact with positive coronavirus patients, contact us as soon as possible. You can schedule your rapid COVID test at our office parking. If you cannot leave your home, our team also performs house calls and can visit you in your home for rapid COVID testing.
After you get tested, your physician will provide you with clear instructions on how to proceed next depending on your result. If you are coronavirus negative, you will be able to go back home but should self-isolate to minimize the risk of infection. If you are coronavirus positive, there are two options to choose from based on the severity of your symptoms.If your symptoms are mild, you can go back home to recover but will need to self-isolate and wear protective clothing like face masks and gloves when interacting with anyone at home. If your symptoms are severe, you will be referred to a hospital where you will be admitted and treated accordingly.For more details about COVID testing, contact us an schedule your appointment
