Our RT-PCR testing has a very high sensitivity rate meaning we can more accurately detect asymptomatic infections than the 15 minute antigen test. 

What is the RT-PCR Test

Reverse Transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) tests are considered the Gold Standard in testing.  The reverse  RT–PCR technique is highly sensitive, specific and can deliver a reliable diagnosis in as little as three hours.  Compared to other available virus isolation methods, RT–PCR is significantly faster and has a lower potential for contamination or errors, as the entire process can be carried out within a closed tube. It continues to be the most accurate method available for the detection of the COVID-19 virus.

The Lyra Direct SARS-CoV-2 Assay is a RT-PCR assay intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 from viral RNA extracted from nasal, nasopharyngeal (NP) or oropharyngeal (OP) swab specimens from patients.  The Assay targets the non-structural Polyprotein (pp1ab) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

What is an Antibody Test

Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections and can provide protection against getting that disease again (immunity). Antibodies are disease specific. For example, measles antibodies will protect you from getting measles if you are exposed to it again, but they won’t protect you from getting mumps if you are exposed to mumps.

Antibody tests should not be used to diagnose a current COVID-19 infection, except in instances in which viral testing is delayed. An antibody test may not show if you have a current COVID-19 infection because it can take 1–3 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies.
