What are the different COVID test methods?
- RT PCR test is performed to confirm active coronavirus in our human body.
- This test is done with high accuracy recommended by ICMRand then sent to a nearby certified lab in Delhi for a complete analysis.
- RT-PCR test is a scientific laboratory technique that allows reverse RNA transcription into DNA to detect the Covid 19 virus. The nasal and throat swab is collected from an individual to diagnose. Even though the viral load is less, it can be detected well through this molecular-based diagnostic test method.
- Rapid Antigen Test tests are immunoassay (biochemical tests) that discovers antigens expressed by the covid virus in the sample. From the respiratory passages, we get the result within 30 minutes.
- Antigen tests can perform a clinical diagnosis in symptomatic persons during the first five days of symptoms appearing. However, the rapid antigen test is not recommended for screening asymptomatic people.
- To do this antigen test, a swab is used to collect a sample from an individual’s nose.
- Many commercial laboratories call the serology test an antibody test. It is used to identify people infected by covid -19 previously for at least 1-3 weeks.
- This test will show a defence response to the infection and detect previous infections with no symptoms.
- In this method, the blood sample is usually collected by a finger prick or by drawing blood from the vein in an individual’s arm. Later, the sample is tested to determine whether the individual has developed antibodies against the virus.
