One of the most common tests conducted to detect the novel coronavirus is the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. It is a highly sensitive test which helps with the early detection and onset of the novel coronavirus. It works by identifying the RNA traces of the coronavirus through a swab sample taken from a person’s nose or throat. It is a variant of PCR test which actually multiplies the genetic material of the pathogen taken from the swab to make a correct diagnosis.
In the reverse-transcription PCR, once the swab sample is taken, the RNA of the coronavirus is converted into DNA, so that virus particles can be detected and a fluorescent dye marks the presence of the virus.
