Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test to detect the presence of Zika virus RNA in a patient’s blood or other bodily fluids. This test is commonly used for individuals suspected of being infected with the Zika virus.
Test Details
The Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test utilizes a technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify and detect viral RNA. Here’s how the test works:
- Sample collection: A blood sample, urine sample, or other bodily fluid is collected from the patient within a specific timeframe after the onset of symptoms.
- RNA extraction: Specialized laboratory techniques are used to extract the viral RNA from the patient’s sample.
- Reverse transcription: The extracted RNA is converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using reverse transcriptase enzyme.
- PCR amplification: The cDNA undergoes multiple rounds of PCR to exponentially amplify the viral RNA.
- Detection: The amplified viral RNA is then detected using various methods, such as fluorescent probes or DNA sequencing. A positive result indicates the presence of Zika virus RNA, suggesting that the patient is infected with the Zika virus.

Pre Test Information
Patients need to sign a Consent document and provide any clinical history of the patient for the Zika Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test.
The Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is highly sensitive and specific, allowing for accurate diagnosis of Zika virus infection. It is an important tool in controlling the spread of the virus and guiding patient management. However, it is important to note that this test only detects the presence of viral RNA and cannot differentiate between current or past infection.

| Test Details | The Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of Zika virus RNA in a patient’s blood or other bodily fluids. This test is typically performed on individuals who are suspected to have been infected with the Zika virus. The test utilizes a technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which allows for the amplification and detection of viral RNA. The test involves several steps: 1. Sample collection: A blood sample, urine sample, or other bodily fluid is collected from the patient. The sample is typically collected within a specific timeframe after the onset of symptoms, as the viral RNA may only be detectable for a limited period. 2. RNA extraction: The viral RNA is extracted from the patient’s sample using specialized laboratory techniques. This step involves breaking open the viral particles and separating the RNA from other components of the sample. 3. Reverse transcription: The extracted RNA is converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This step allows for the amplification and detection of viral RNA. 4. PCR amplification: The cDNA is subjected to multiple rounds of PCR, which exponentially amplifies the viral RNA. This amplification process allows for the detection of even small amounts of viral RNA. 5. Detection: The amplified viral RNA is then detected using various methods, such as fluorescent probes or DNA sequencing. The presence of Zika virus RNA indicates a positive result, suggesting that the patient is infected with the Zika virus. The Zika Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is highly sensitive and specific, allowing for accurate diagnosis of Zika virus infection. It is an important tool in controlling the spread of the virus and guiding patient management. However, it is worth noting that this test only detects the presence of viral RNA and cannot differentiate between current or past infection. |
