Coronavirus COVID 19 RT PCR test at Home for Bangalore (ICMR Approved)

RT-PCR test full form is Reverse Transcription -
Polymerase Chain Reaction test. It is a molecular-based diagnostic testing
method. An RT-PCR test is a laboratory test that
combines reverse transcription of RNA into DNA for the
detection of the COVID-19 virus. An RT-PCR test procedure uses
nose or throat swabs for the detection of viruses. It detects the virus even if
the viral load is less.

RT-PCR test or Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase
Chain Reaction test. It is the most sensitive technique for mRNA detection. It
quantifies the presence of a particular genetic material of the virus or any
pathogen. Real-Time RT-PCR is loaded with fluorescent dyes as
markers. Real-Time RT-PCR helps investigators to analyse the results
without delay. The major advantage of Real-Time RT-PCR testing
procedure is its ability to give rapid test results (online as
well as offline)

The real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is the
most commonly used one for Covid-19. It is primarily based on PCR, a process
that repeatedly copies and amplifies the specific genetic fragments of the
virus. This process ensures that there is enough of a sample to conduct the
analysis, as swabs from patients yield only a tiny quantity of RNA, which is
not adequate for the testing process. 

The COVID
test reports will be delivered to you via email. You are advised to
visit your referring doctor with the report for the final interpretation. 

• The Ct (cycle threshold) is defined as the number of cycles required for the fluorescent signal to cross the threshold (ie exceeds background level). 
• Ct levels are inversely proportional to the amount of target nucleic acid in the sample (ie the lower the Ct level the greater the amount of target nucleic acid in the
  sample).
• Cts < 29 are strong positive reactions indicative of abundant target nucleic acid in the sample 
• Cts of 30-37 are positive reactions indicative of moderate
  amounts of target nucleic acid Cts of 38-40 are weak reactions indicative of
  minimal amounts of target nucleic acid which could represent an infection state
  or environmental contamination. 

The production of antibodies can take from a few days to
weeks to develop. However, it is unknown for how long they blood. 

While people of all ages are susceptible to covid, senior
citizens and people with chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease are
more vulnerable to be severely ill due to coronavirus

Because of the high sensitivity of the PCR test, although
not contagious, people can test positive for COVID-19 weeks and even months
after the infection.

You can book an at-home COVID -19 test from MyDiagnostics
online. It is an ICMR approved laboratory test.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) - Coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) is a type of coronavirus. It was first detected in December 2019,
in Wuhan City, China. It causes the covid-19 disease.

The covid test result will be delivered to you via email.
You are advised to visit your referring doctor with the report for the final
interpretation.

You can get a rapid antigen test for the omicron variant
with at-home testing capabilities. Rapid antigen tests for SARS COV 2 omicron
variant provide quick insights on whether you have the virus. The report of
rapid antigen tests is also generated via email, which is directly shared
within 24-48 hours. Multiple tests et al can be performed to detect your risk
factor.

Yes, at home antigen tests for omicron variant can be highly
accurate. Omicron variant and COVID 19 can be tested within the at-home delta
and omicron package. The sensitivity of the test is also highly accurate, as
the results are generated within 24-48 hours.

If you suspect that there is an immediate outbreak of
omicron variant within an area then it's best to start wearing protective kits
and masks again. You can also get an omicron test at-home to ensure that you
are protected from the virus. You can order an at-home test through
MyDiagnostics and get the right results.

Yes, you can use an at home test for Omicron for checking if
you have the variant. A rapid test can provide you the results you need when
checking for Omicron COVID 19.
