 RT-PCR TESTING & RAPID ANTIGEN COVID TESTING FAQ:

✅ IS THE PCR TEST FOR COVID-19 ACCURATE❓
Yes, PCR is the gold standard for Covid testing. It's been used by laboratories across the world to accurately test for Covid-19.
✅ IS THIS THE TEST I NEED FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL❓
Most countries require a negative PCR within 72 hours of flight for entrance.
✅ WHAT DOES PCR STAND FOR❓
PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction test.
✅ IS THIS A MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC TEST❓
Yes. PCR and RT PCR are the widely known molecular diagnostic methods used to detect Covid-19.
✅ WHAT IS A RAPID ANTIGEN TEST❓
The rapid antigen test is also known as the rapid covid test, is often very similar to a pregnancy test. Detects Covid-19 protein fragments. Lateral flow rapid tests can provide quick results typically within 15 minutes. However, it's not as accurate as actually laboratory-performed tests. It's also typically not suitable for international travel.
✅ PCR VS RT-PCR
RT-PCR is a variation of polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR). It has an added step, reverse transcription of RNA to DNA.

Steps of RT-PCR Technique : MED NOW LABS

  Steps of RT-PCR Technique As mentioned above, the RT-PCR process is only a little different from that of PCR. Apart from the one addition of reverse transcription in RT-PCR, both techniques are almost the same. So, let’s start the RT-PCR technique from its reverse transcription stage. Reverse Transcription A reverse transcriptase enzyme is used to synthesize a cDNA (complementary DNA) strand with nucleotides, and its end product turns out to be mRNA (cDNA hybrid). This process takes place between 40 to 50 degrees Celsius; it usually varies with the properties of the reverse transcriptase enzyme being used. Once the reverse transcription is done, the mRNAs are hydrolyzed, and during a first temperature cycle, the cDNAs are replicated by DNA polymerase. Denaturation Here, the combination of components left is heated to a temperature of 94 degrees Celsius for less than half a minute. Along with the denaturation of double-stranded cDNA into single strands, the hydrogen bonds are also...
