The 80min Test that Gives An Accurate COVID Result

With the Covid-19 crisis hitting all parts of the world as hard as it has, it’s become even more important for people to access reliable tests to screen the virus. The WHO declared the disease a global cause pandemic as the number of individuals infected by the virus continued to rise and spread all over the world. They are majorly two kinds of tests; antigen and antibody tests that use different samples to detect SARS CoV 2. Pro-Lab Diagnostics is a manufacturing and distribution company of in-vitro diagnostic kits as well as reagents. These rapid covid testing kits have made a huge difference in the fight against the spread of the disease as more people join the fight against Covid 19 through testing.

The 80-minute Covid test

Pro Labs is the only company that distributes the VIASURE SARS-CoV-2, Flu & RSV Real-Time PCR detection kit, an accurate Covid-19 test that produces results in under 80 minutes. This ready and easy-to-use kit is designed to qualitatively detect the RNA from genetic mutations in the S gene. This 80-minute covid test is not self-administered and is intended for use by clinical laboratory personnel who are trained and qualified in the specialty of in-vitro diagnostics as well as molecular techniques. The kit is also designed to identify the viruses in respiratory samples that cause Influenza A/B and the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus A/B.

How does it work?

The viruses that cause COVID 19 are enveloped viruses in the RNA strand that belong to the Coronaviridiae family. This makes it possible for the transmission of the disease to occur from one individual to the other even in the incubation stage regardless of whether the patient was asymptomatic. The virus causes damage to a patient’s respiratory system with some contracting severe bouts of pneumonia. COVID-19 virus also infects the lower respiratory tracts as a result of the influenza viruses present. That’s not all, there is also a high possibility of patients developing acute respiratory infections caused by the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus commonly known as the RSV. These viruses are responsible for a large number of CoronaVirus symptoms such as coughing, headaches, and fevers.

The VIASURE SARS-CoV-2, Flu & RSV Real-Time PCR detection kit from Pro Lab works to first isolate the RNA virus through reversing the transcription and amplifying the target sequence subsequently in real-time. The complementary DNA is then synthesized resulting in the identification of RSV, Influenza A/B, and SARS-CoV-2 through a polymerase chain reaction.

Other test kits produced and manufactured by Pro Lab include Proflow™ SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test.

Who benefits from the VIASURE SARS-CoV-2, Flu & RSV Real-Time PCR detection kit?

Testing surely does play a major role in curbing this pandemic the world is facing. According to research, Covid-19 testing has proven to mitigate the deadly virus from spreading far and wide causing an outbreak. Testing individuals using this kit can be used to :
● Identify asymptomatic individuals
● Diagnose symptomatic individuals
● Monitor how the disease is spreading so that control measures can be put in place

Through continuous testing, more patients can access effective treatment especially to populations that are more vulnerable to the disease. Companies that use the VIASURE SARS-CoV-2, Flu & RSV Real-Time PCR detection kit include CerTest Biotec.
