Test Overview & Methodology
The Ebola Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test employs real-time PCR (qPCR) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect Ebola virus genetic material, providing definitive diagnosis for high-risk individuals, travellers, and suspected contacts within 48 hours. This molecular approach ensures unparalleled sensitivity and specificity.

| Methodology | Real-Time PCR (qPCR) & Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) | Lateral Flow Immunoassay (Antigen Detection) |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% (Analytical Sensitivity) | ~85% (WHO EUL evaluation) |
| Turnaround Time | 36โ48 hours (phone/email) | 15โ30 minutes |
| Specimen Type | Throat swab, whole blood, serum, plasma, CSF, body fluids (Biosafety Level 3 collection in hospital) | Whole blood (fingerstick) |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015 & DHA-licensed (1143) | WHO Emergency Use Listing only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA: 9294403): "When Ebola is suspected, every moment matters. This molecular test provides the definitive confirmation needed to initiate isolation and life-saving treatment. However, a negative result early in illness does not rule out infectionโclinical correlation with travel history and symptoms is paramount. Always interpret results in consultation with an infectious disease specialist."
Important Safety Advisory
โ ๏ธ Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without direct medical supervision. Ebola test results require immediate clinical action; self-altering treatment may be life-threatening. Always consult your doctor before making changes.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: This test requires a sample collected by trained professionals under strict Biosafety Level 3 precautions within a hospital setting. Patients with confirmed Ebola exposure must immediately report to designated treatment centres and should not rely solely on this test for clearance.
- ER Red Flags: Seek emergency medical attention if you experience sudden high fever, severe headache, muscle pain, unexplained bleeding or bruising, especially after travel to an endemic region within 21 days. Do not wait for test results if these symptoms appear.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the turnaround time for the Ebola RNA qualitative test result?
Your results are typically ready within 36 hours by phone and 48 hours by email, ensuring rapid clinical decision-making. Our ISO-certified lab expedites processing; once concluded, a dedicated clinical advisor will call you to discuss the findings confidentially.
2. Why is home collection not available for this test?
Due to the high biosafety risk (BSL-3 required) and the invasive nature of CSF sample collection, this test is strictly performed in accredited hospital facilities. A trained phlebotomist in full PPE will collect the sample on-site under controlled conditions. Mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety.
3. How accurate is the Ebola RNA PCR test compared to antigen tests?
This test achieves over 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity, vastly outperforming antigen rapid tests which reach only about 85% sensitivity. By detecting viral RNA via qPCR and confirming with whole genome sequencing, we eliminate false negatives common in antigen-based kits.
