RT-PCR Testing

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard molecular technique used to detect and quantify specific DNA or RNA sequences. It offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, making it the preferred method for diagnosing viral and bacterial infections, monitoring disease progression, and guiding treatment decisions.

Procedure for RT-PCR Test

Our phlebotomists diligently follow all the safety protocols set by the World Health Organization for conducting RT-PCR tests. We undertake all precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our staff and the patients. We conduct the RT-PCR tests in three steps:

1 Sample Collection

A swab is used to collect respiratory material from the nose. We use both nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal swabs to collect samples. After collection, the swab is safely sealed in a tube and sent to our laboratory for testing.

2 Extraction

Our lab technologists extract and isolate genetic material, including that of other viruses that maybe present in the sample.

3 PCR Testing

In the final PCR step, we use special chemicals and a thermal cycler to make millions of copies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus's genetic material. If the sample contains the virus, the device alerts our technologists, who will also use software to interpret the result.
