Test information

About this test

  • A molecular diagnostic test used to detect active SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • The test looks for the virus’s genetic material (RNA).

How it works

  • Reverse transcription: converts viral RNA into DNA.
  • Quantitative PCR: amplifies and detects the DNA in real time.
  • Detection of the target viral RNA produces a positive result.
