COVID-19 (RT PCR) AT LAB

Description

This test is identical in purpose and methodology to the offsite version, using RT-PCR technology to detect SARS-CoV-2. The key difference is that this test is performed within the main laboratory facility. This on-site testing may offer advantages such as faster turnaround times or the ability to process a higher volume of samples. The test remains highly accurate in detecting active COVID-19 infections, analyzing samples (typically nasopharyngeal swabs) for the presence of viral RNA. Results from this test are crucial for diagnosing COVID-19 and informing isolation and treatment decisions.
