Usea combination of RT-PCR and qPCR techniques
Our COVID-19 Test Kits combine two Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)techniques – Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Reverse PCR (qPCR). The techniques are joined for a better and more accurate in-depth analysis of the viral RNA. With this combination, we have managed to negate the potential drawbacks of RT-PCR.
Multi-gene detection (ORF1a, ORF1b/RdRp, E, or N genes)
Depending on the Test Kit, different viral genes are targeted. This is done for maximum reliability of the tests. Please refer to the attached table for more information on which genes are targeted by which COVID-19 Test Kits.
