95608-6
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RNA [Presence] in Respiratory system specimen by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
Qualitative results for the detection of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in respiratory specimens by nucleic acid amplification with non-probe based detection, such as melt curve analysis or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Results may be based on multiple assays to determine the presence of the virus in a specimen. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
