Nucleic acid test is a relatively common way to detect viruses, it can be sampled from the human body through the swab, and then test whether the virus infection, the epidemic prevention and control has a great help, a lot of people will do nucleic acid test. Nucleic acid test swabs are individually packaged, and are disposable, is more hygienic and safe.
Nucleic acid test swabs are individually packaged
Generally are individually packaged.
The samples used for the new crown nucleic acid test are mainly throat swabs. After the sample is taken, it will be sent to the laboratory for testing. The sampling process is very quick. All you need to do is open your mouth and remove the oral secretions with the sampling swab. Generally, there is no pain. In addition, there will be no dietary restrictions prior to sampling, and your drinking water and diet will not be affected, so the new Crown Nucleic Acid test will not be uncomfortable.
The tester will first need to rinse their mouth with water and soak the sampling swab in saline. Then, with the help of a medical professional, the sampling swabs are placed on both tonsils and the back wall of the pharynx and used repeatedly, about 2 to 3 times. After the coating was completed, it was placed in a plastic tube, capped and labeled with relevant information. Finally, the sample under test is refrigerated and sent to a laboratory for testing.
Are the swabs used for nucleic acid testing regular swabsThey are usually a little longer than regular swabs.
The substance detected by the nucleic acid test is the nucleic acid of the virus. The nucleic acid test is used to find out if the virus is present in the patient's respiratory tract, blood, or feces to determine if they have been infected with the new coronavirus-19. Therefore, a "positive" nucleic acid test proves that the virus is present in the patient's body.
Neocoronavirus-19 is first transmitted in the respiratory tract when it infects the body, so the presence of the virus can be detected by testing for nucleic acids in sputum and nasopharyngeal swabs. Therefore, a positive nucleic acid test can be used as the gold standard for neocoronavirus infection.
Nucleic acid test precautions1. Avoid eating 2 hours before the nucleic acid test to avoid vomiting. Do not smoke, drink or chew gum 30 minutes before sampling. Please bring your ID card and follow the community notification to arrive at the test site. Cold weather and testing queues may be long. Do your best to protect yourself from the cold and keep warm. Keep a distance of more than 1 meter between people, queue up in an orderly manner, do not crowd and avoid talking.
2. Testers should wear masks correctly and remove them before the test; wear them immediately after the test and prepare spare masks for replacement at any time after contamination. When collecting an oropharyngeal swab, the tester tilts the head back and opens the mouth to make an "ah" sound, completely exposing the throat.
3. Irritating dry cough, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms may occur during sampling. Testers should try to relax and breathe y. Rare complications and adverse outcomes, such as bleeding, infection, and cardiovascular accidents, exist due to individual differences, tolerance, and past medical history.
4. Medical personnel should be informed before sampling if there are previous risk factors such as blood disorders, throat disorders, or anticoagulant use. Leave the collection point immediately after collection and avoid spitting and vomiting around the collection point.
5. Personal information such as cell phone name, home address, name, ID number, etc. are written in advance on a small slip of paper to save time and improve the efficiency of the test.
