What Happens During PCR Swab Test (Polymerase Chain Reaction)?

-

 PCR test is a fast, highly accurate method to diagnose certain infectious diseases and genetic changes. It works by finding the DNA and RNA of a pathogen or abnormal cells in a sample. Unlike other tests, the PCR swab test can easily find evidence of disease in the earliest stage of injection.


Here are some interesting things that happen during the PCR swab test:-

1.   Amplification: during a PCR test, a small amount of genetic material in a sample is copied multiple times. This copying process is called amplification. However, if pathogens are present in the sample, the amplification process makes them much easier to view.

2.   Blood test: a healthcare expert will take your blood sample from a vein in your arms with the help of a small needle. When the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood is collected into a vial. Furthermore, it’s a simple process that doesn’t take less than five minutes. 

3.  Nasal swab: PCR swab test can be taken from the front part of your nostrils or the back of your nostrils. In most cases, the professionals use the uppermost part of your nose and throat to take the samples. 

4.   Accurate results: the PCR test provides cost-effective, quick, and accurate diagnosis for Covid-19 for both businesses and individuals. Within 24-48 hours, you will receive the results without any hassle.
