Introduction The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test is a molecular diagnostic technique used to detect the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in individuals suspected of having COVID-19. This test plays a crucial role in identifying active infections …
Introduction SARS-CoV-2, also known as the novel coronavirus, is the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody assay is a laboratory test designed to detect and measure the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in a person’s blood sample. When a person is …
Introduction SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, also known as rapid antigen tests or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), are diagnostic tests designed to detect specific proteins or antigens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for the COVID-19 disease. These tests are used to quickly identify active COVID-19 …
Introduction of SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID -19). SARS-CoV-2 stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. On March 11, 2020, …
