About the Test

“The Alimetrix SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay is a molecular RT-PCR assay for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19). Our methodology makes it possible to selectively amplify the viral genome and greatly increase the sensitivity of the assay. Tests are performed on mid-turbinate nasal specimens from individuals suspected to have an active infection. Using a series of three identification probes we are able to accurately discern CoV-2 from other coronaviruses. This results in a high degree of specificity with fewer false positive results. Our test will help diagnose those currently infected with CoV-2 and actively shedding the virus. These individuals are considered infectious to others at this stage of their illness.”
