What Will I Get In The Report?

COVID-19 RT-PCR test targets E gene and RdRP gene in the viral genome of SARS-CoV-2 for detection.

Positive or Detectable Test Results:
Detectable test results are reflected when both distinct N gene and ORF1 ab gene are amplified in the RT-PCR assay. Presence of SARS-CoV-2 is indicative of a positive result. Therefore, it is recommended to that you discuss your medical history and related diagnostic information with your doctor.

Negative or Non-Detectable Test Results:
Non-detectable test results are reflected when neither N gene and ORF1 ab gene are amplified in the RT-PCR assay. However, a negative result does not indicate the absence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as a standalone indication for making an assessment. It is, therefore, recommended that your discuss your medical history, related clinical information, and epidemiological details with your doctor.
