Testing Method

The testing method for COVID-19 is a qPCR assay based on the detection of the viral nucleic material (RNA) within the virus. The presence of this nucleic material in a throat swab sample indicates infection, whereas its’ absence indicates a negative result.

Accuracy

The genesig® COVID-19 assay (2019-nCoV) Clinical Performance Evaluation and Inclusivity / Exclusivity Data statement showed after rigorous evaluations by the National Infection Service, Public Health England to have >99% specificity. In addition, an independent clinical evaluation of the assay by an NHS clinical laboratory has found that the test was 100% specific when tested against known positive and negative SARS-CoV-2 clinical samples. 

COVID-19 Test in now available at £199. Frontline NHS staff are eligible to receive subsidised refund of 50% on testing kits. For more information on COVID-19, visit https://www.rightangled.co/products/coronavirus-test.
