94533-7
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) N gene [Presence] in Respiratory system specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the nucleoprotein (N) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in respiratory specimens by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Various assays have been developed that contain primer-probe sets targeting N gene. [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance]
