questions about the types of test

i tested negative taking an elisa at 2 and a half weeks. at 32 days, i took a rapid response test. does the rapid response detect antibodies as accurate as the elisa?

i know it isnt conclusive, i just wanted to know if one detected lower levels of antibodies then the other.

There are no tests reliable at 2.5 weeks and rapid tests are ELISA tests. All antibody tests are conclusive at 3 months post exposure.
