What is the RT PCR Test?
RT-PCR i.e. real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is commonly used and a most sensitive test for detecting Covid-19 infection. It is a process that repeatedly copies and amplifies the specific genetic fragments of the virus, ensuring that there is enough of a sample to conduct the analysis.
Coronaviruses have RNA (Ribonucleic acid) as their genetic material. For Covid-19 testing RNA is first converted into DNA using an enzyme. Then the t takes a simple swab from a person’s throat or nose.
Procedure : Throat and / or Nose Swabbing
