Methodology

RT PCR: This test utilizes the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) methodology, which is considered the gold standard for the direct detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. RT-PCR works by converting viral RNA into DNA and then amplifying specific segments of this DNA, allowing for the highly sensitive and specific identification of the virus's genetic material. This method is crucial for confirming active COVID-19 infection, even in early stages or in asymptomatic individuals, and is vital for controlling disease transmission.

Sample Required

NASOPHARYNGEAL & ORAL SWAB: (Combined collection from the nasopharynx (upper part of the throat behind the nose) and the oral cavity/oropharynx is performed using specialized sterile swabs.)
