*This is not a PCR test.

◆What is antibody test?

This test will show you the possibility of a past infection with the virus.

  1. * This test is not to diagnose whether you currently have the new coronavirus.
  2. * This antibody test cannot be used to confirm the new coronavirus infection.
  3. * The duration that the antibody test can be positive may be limited.

◆Cost of the test

At the outpatient department: 6,600 yen (tax included)
As an optional test to health screening/medical checkup: 5,500 yen (tax included)

◆How to receive the result

The test result report will be mailed to the designated address in around a week.

◆How to make a reservation

At the outpatient department, we take reservations by phone (03-5413-0080).
If you are going to take a health screening/medical checkup, please ask the staff on the day of your screening/checkup.

◆Notes

Unlike the PCR test and the antigen test, the antibody test is not a test to diagnose whether you are currently infected or not. Therefore, the target of the test is those who have no symptom.
People who have any of the following conditions cannot take the test.

  1. * Those who have had a fever or cold symptoms for two weeks before the blood test.
  2. * Those who have had close contact with an infected person within 2 weeks.
  3. * Those who came back from outside of Japan within 2 weeks.
