About SARS-CoV-2
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2 which first appeared in China in December 2019. In approximately 86% of all infected individuals, the infection is mild to asymptomatic (Ruiyun Li et al., Science, 2020). However, especially in older people with preexisting illnesses, the virus can lead to severe respiratory disease or even severe pneumonia.
Early detection of SARS-CoV-2 is vital in providing the best care possible to patients and contact persons preventing further spreading of this highly contagious virus.
Key Test Features
- Fully validated SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test
- Emergency Use Authorisation by the US Food and Drug Administration
- Rapid turnaround time - optional Fast Track Report at Frankfurt Airport
About the Test
The SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test is a real-time test based on the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in samples of the upper respiratory tract (oropharyngeal swabs) collected from individuals suspected by their healthcare provider to have COVID-19, belonging to a risk cohort, or having been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient.
The results are used to identify SARS-CoV-2 RNA, which is usually detectable in oropharyngeal samples during the acute phase of the infection.
- Positive (Detectable) Test Result - Amplification of both targets results reflects presumptive positive (detectable) test result. Positive results indicate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, and clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is highly recommended to determine the patient's infection status.
- Negative (Non-Detectable) Test Result - Amplification of neither target reflects a negative (non-detectable) test results. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
