The Covid 19 RT-PCR tests to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA are the
operational gold standard for detecting COVID-19 disease in clinical practice. The test process is conducted with
Randox PCR test in the form of a swab which will gather an individual’s nose and throat secretions. Sampling an
analysis are conducted in line with ISO 15189 Quality Standards.
Technical Note: A sample is prepared by extracting the chosen section of the
genome, and then PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) techniques are used to
amplify (replicate) the genome section, ready for detection. This type of test
detects the RNA (Ribonucleic acid) contained within the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
