While the RT-PCR test detects the viral RNA, antibody & rapid antigen tests detect antibodies & viral proteins respectively. Know how the three tests differ from each other and solve different purposes.
RT-PCR test - Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction, commonly known as RT-PCR test, is the most preferred test for detecting COVID-19. RT-PCR test is a laboratory test that combines reverse transcription of RNA into DNA for the detection of the virus. An RT-PCR test uses nose or throat swabs for the detection of viruses.
Antibody Test - Antibody Test determines if the patient had COVID-19 in the past and now has antibodies against the virus. Antibody testing is also known as serology testing and is usually done after full recovery from COVID-19.
Rapid Antigen Test - A rapid antigen test is a diagnostic test suitable for point-of-care testing that directly detects the presence or absence of an antigen. It is commonly used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Turnaround time for rapid antigen test results is usually very quick and can be reported within 15-30 minutes.
