The Covid-19 crisis has underlined the need for easily accessible, prompt, and flawless RT-PCR testing to screen for the disease. Agam Diagnostics is one of the leading testing centres accredited by the ICMR, Government of India. Our laboratory is powered by state-of-the-art diagnostic technology and astute medical acumen to diagnose Covid-19.
Regulatory authorities like the FOA (Food & Agricultural Organisation) and FDA consider RT-PCR testing as one of the most accurate methods to diagnose Covid-19 infection.
At Agam, all Covid-19 RT-PCR tests are conducted by our highly trained phlebotomists under extremely safe and hygienic conditions. Sample collections are done only under a doctor's prescription. In addition to RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) test, rapid antigen tests can also be used to detect Covid-19.
Sample Collection
A swab is used to collect respiratory material from the nose. We use both nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal swabs to collect samples. After collection, the swab is safely sealed in a tube and sent to our laboratory for testing.
Extraction
Our lab technologists extract and isolate genetic material, including that of other viruses that maybe present in the sample.
PCR Testing
In the final PCR step, we use special chemicals and a thermal cycler to make millions of copies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus's genetic material. If the sample contains the virus, the device alerts our technologists, who will also use software to interpret the result.
