Question 1

Why is a PCR test more expensive than an antibody test?

Accepted Answer

PCR test is more expensive because it is processed in the lab and PCR is done.

Question 2

Where can I find an accurate test for a future career?

Accepted Answer

Apollo23/7 Lab Test is the most reliable lab in India.

Question 3

Can an RNA PCR test detect HIV?

Accepted Answer

Yes they can be used to detect HIV, however, they are less accurate.

Question 4

Why do they quarantine people for 14 days?

Accepted Answer

People are quarantined for 14 days because the virus completes its life cycle and generally the person is out of risk after 14 days.

Question 5

What is Covid 19 RT PCR test?

Accepted Answer

The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens.

Question 6

What is the most highly doctor-rated treatment for COVID-19?

Accepted Answer

Antiviral medications are given to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in people who are more likely to get very sick. Antiviral treatments target specific parts of the virus to stop it from multiplying in the body, helping to prevent severe illness and death

Question 7

What is the difference between HIV NAT and PCR test?

Accepted Answer

PCR testing is a fairly widespread method of NAT which can reliably detect HIV within 17 days of active infection.

Question 8

What is the difference between RT-PCR and real time PCR?

Accepted Answer

Real-time PCR allows for the detection of PCR amplification in the exponential growth phase of the reaction and is much more quantitative than traditional RT-PCR.

Question 9

What is the difference between PCR and antibody tests?

Accepted Answer

If there is still concern that a person has COVID-19 after a negative antigen test, then that person should be tested again with a PCR test. A negative antibody test means that the person may not have had COVID-19 in the past.

Question 10

What is the difference between RAPD and PCR?

Accepted Answer

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA or RAPD uses random primers to amplify genomic DNA from different individuals or organisms. PCR products are only formed when the two primers anneal reasonably close and in opposite orientations on different strands

Question 11

What is RT-PCR?

Accepted Answer

RT PCR is a nuclear-derived method for detecting the presence of specific genetic material in any pathogen, including a virus.

Question 12

What is the difference between PCR and the RTPCR test?

Accepted Answer

The main difference between RT-PCR and rapid PCR is the type of molecule that is being amplified. RT-PCR amplifies the RNA, whereas rapid PCR amplifies the DNA

Question 13

What is the procedure for testing corona?

Accepted Answer

To detect COVID-19 virus, typically a phlebotomist takes a blood sample. It's taken by a finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. Then the sample goes to a lab for investigation whether you have developed antibodies against the COVID-19 virus. You can now order the test from Apollo24/7 Lab Test.
