LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RNA panel - Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This panel contains results for the detection of Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), initially known as 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), in various specimens, including respiratory and serum, using nucleic acid amplification assays with probe-based detection for the diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Various assays have been developed that contain primer-probe sets targeting regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, including regions in the RdRp, N, and E genes. [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance] The CDC-developed SARS-CoV-2 assay contains primer and probe sets designed for specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 (N1 and N2 assays) as well as detection of the SARS-like coronaviruses (N3 assay).[CDC: coronavirus/2019-nCoV/lab/]
