97098-8
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Nsp2 gene [Presence] in Upper respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the non-structural protein 2 (Nsp2) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in upper respiratory specimens, including nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs, by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
