Why using PCR Test is expensive and complex than antibody test which is cheaper?

Nucleic-Acid-Diagnostic -Kit

PCR testing is more expensive and complex than antibody testing because it requires specialized laboratory equipment and infrastructure, is time and labor-intensive, has high sensitivity and specificity, and is primarily used for diagnosing active infections. In contrast, antibody testing is simpler and cheaper, used to determine past infections, and has lower sensitivity and specificity.

The Golden Age of the nucleic acid test is yet to come:

The peak for Covid-19 PCR test was not in February or March 2020, when the new cases of infection and death increases every day instead the peak of the business was in April and May, because during this time, people were encouraged to come back to work. When people are encouraged back to work and school, all of them should go through such a test so the healthy ones can go back to work and school without the possibility of getting infected during work or study and the infected ones should have quarantine and treatment without spreading the virus.

What is future of PCR Test?

The future of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing looks promising, with ongoing research and development aimed at improving the speed, accuracy, and accessibility of the test. Here are some potential developments in the future of PCR testing:

·         Point-of-care testing: One of the most significant developments in PCR testing is the move towards point-of-care testing, which means testing can be done outside of the laboratory and at the patient’s bedside. This could dramatically reduce the time it takes to get results and make the test more accessible in resource-limited settings.

·         Multiplexing: PCR technology is being developed to allow for the detection of multiple pathogens in a single test. This will improve the efficiency of testing and allow for the rapid detection of multiple infectious diseases.

·         Improved sensitivity: Efforts are underway to improve the sensitivity of PCR tests, enabling the detection of very low levels of viral RNA. This will be important for early detection and surveillance of infectious diseases.

·         Integration with other technologies: PCR testing is being integrated with other technologies, such as microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems, to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

Overall, the future of PCR testing looks promising, with ongoing research and development focused on improving speed, accuracy, and accessibility.

How to use SANSURE solution for Covid-19 control?

SANSURE is a company that produces nucleic acid testing (NAT) kits for COVID-19 diagnosis. Here is a general overview of how the SANSURE NAT kit can be used for COVID-19 control:

·         Collect a sample: A healthcare worker collects a sample from the patient, typically by taking a swab from the back of the throat or from the nasal passage.

·         Extract RNA: The SANSURE NAT kit is used to extract RNA (the genetic material) from the patient’s sample. This RNA contains the viral genome if the patient is infected with COVID-19.

·         Amplify the RNA: The RNA is then amplified using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. This amplification process makes it possible to detect even very small amounts of viral RNA in the sample.

·         Detect the virus: The amplified RNA is then tested for the presence of COVID-19 viral RNA. If the virus is present, the test will give a positive result. If the virus is not present, the test will give a negative result.

·         Interpret results: The results of the SANSURE NAT kit are typically interpreted by healthcare professionals in a laboratory setting. The test provides a reliable and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19, which is crucial for controlling the spread of the disease.

Overall, the SANSURE NAT kit can be used to quickly and accurately diagnose COVID-19, which is important for controlling the spread of the disease.
