SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR - What is Measured?
Our RT-PCR COVID-19 test detects the presence or absence of RNA from SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), which causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We offer both a nasopharyngeal swab and saliva swab
testing. This is not an antibody test.
