Test Details
The H1N1 (swine flu) qualitative real-time PCR test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of the H1N1 influenza virus in a patient’s respiratory sample. It is a molecular test that utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to amplify and detect specific genetic material (RNA) of the H1N1 virus.
The test involves collecting a respiratory sample, usually through a nasal or throat swab. The sample is then processed in a laboratory, where the genetic material is extracted and purified. The PCR technique is then used to amplify specific segments of the H1N1 virus RNA, if present in the sample.
Real-time PCR is a method that allows for the detection of the amplified genetic material in real-time during the amplification process. It uses fluorescent probes that bind to the amplified H1N1 RNA, producing a detectable signal. The presence of a detectable signal indicates the presence of the H1N1 virus in the patient’s sample.
This test is highly specific and sensitive, providing accurate results in a relatively short amount of time. It is commonly used during outbreaks or pandemics to identify individuals infected with the H1N1 virus, allowing for timely intervention and control measures to be implemented.
