Limitations
The test result interpretation requires understanding that a negative result does not necessarily rule out prior exposure or vaccination failure; individuals may still be susceptible if they have not developed detectable IgG levels. Stability of the specimen is maintained for 14 days at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen; freeze/thaw cycles are stable up to four times, indicating the robustness of the procedure over various storage conditions.
