Coronavirus Diagnostic Test – COVID 19 Test Kits

Introduction

The laboratory diagnostic tests for coronavirus or COVID 19 includes molecular tests and serology tests. Named and tested according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

 

COVID 19 Test Kits

Diagnostic testing for coronavirus is undertaken using two different approaches, including, Whole Genome Sequencing and Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR). Sequencing was used in the early days of the outbreak for early documentation of this novel virus and is an instrument of viral discovery. Currently, nearly all diagnostic testing for CoV is done using RT-PCR.

Current testing methods are considered precise, but authorities have limited testing to central health agencies or a few credited laboratories, limiting the ability to quickly identify new cases. These situations are driving a commercial race to develop new COVID-19 tests involving the rapid collection and testing of suitable specimens from patients meeting the definition for COVID- 19.

 

Coronavirus Laboratory Testing

Labs carrying out the testing for the COVID-19 virus should follow strict biosafety practices. NAAT detects the unique sequence of the virus RNA such as real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with confirmation to nucleic acid sequencing when necessary. The lab testing includes following steps:

1.     Determining Confirmation

2.     Serological Testing

3.     Viral Sequencing

4.     Viral Culture
