Dear Maia

Thanks for your email.

On Monday we sent it by DHL.  I understand that you need our Ag test very urgently, but there was no option to deliver documents.

Regarding donation, it is right. We`d like to donate 5,000 Test (250 KITS) of STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag/Ab Total Test.

I hope we can hear positive reaction regarding our donation from your side.

If any concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,

Dear Victor,

Thank you for your e-mail.

As you know we urgently require AG tests, therefore, we kindly ask you to inform us the date and route of delivery by DHL.  

Based on our experience, we suggested the most direct route  (Korea-Azerbaijan-Georgia), which is the fastest way to deliver the goods.

Hereby, kindly ask you to send the duly signed contract and minutes of negotiations.

As for the donation, do you mean free test samples under this issues? Please, kindly provide more details.

In order to send the signed contract and minutes of negotiations, which is an integral part of the contract, please, kindly send the names and positions of the representatives attending the meeting from you side.

Many thanks as well for introducing STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag/Ab Total Test.

Best regards,

Maia

Dear Maia

I hope you are good.

It was great to have a conference call.

I attached revised contract form. I put it into our letter head and revised details refer to our conversation.

And let me introduce again STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag/Ab Total Test.

In the early stages of infection, antigens outnumbers antibodies, and as an immune response occurs and antibodies are produced, the number of antibodies increases over antigens.

At first, the infected case can be screened through the Ag RDT, but from the moment the antibody is created, the accuracy of the examination through the antigen RDT is reduced.

Antigen testing often results in incorrect test results for people who have already created antibodies.

We presume that this results might be occurred to patients who got COVID-19 more than a week and acute phase has been passed already. Hence, the COVID-19 Antigen titer is getting down rapidly but Antibody (IgM / IgM) is going up.

(PCR still can diagnostic this small volume of Antigen as this is confirmatory method)

That is why we have developed Total rapid test pack of COVID-19 Ab and Ag (called Standard Q COVID-19 Ag/Ab Total Test) to avoid from the issue.

Please refer to attached leaflet and below info about Standard Q Ag/Ab Total Test for your info. The price is $17.5 / T.

Standard Q Ag/Ab Total Test

If any concerns, please let me know.
