Getein Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-time RT-PCR Kit is used for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the 2019-nCoV in oropharyngeal swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected form individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.
Intended Use
Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-time RT-PCR Kit is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the 2019-nCoV in oropharyngeal swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected form individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.
About SARS-CoV-2
Specific antibodies will be produced within days to weeks as the immune system makes immune defense against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Total antibody detection is an aid in the diagnosis of patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection in conjunction with clinical symptoms and result of other diagnostic methods. The test result should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis and exclusion of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Total antibody may not be detected in the first few days of infection.
SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody is a protective soluble protein secreted by adaptive immunizing cells after inoculation with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine or infection with SARS-CoV-2. These antibodies can specific bind with virus RNA binding domain (RBD) to block the binding of RBD with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on human cells surface, thus prevent the virus or its genetic material into the human cell and virus infection.
