Test for Coronavirus COVID-19 | Nasal Swab


The Coronavirus test (COVID-19) by IGeneX Labs uses advanced PCR technology to test for the direct presence of the COVID-19 virus. The kit has the option to test for COVID-19 antibodies used the more accurate Immunoblot method which can help confirm infection along with identifying protective immunity to the virus. Ordering both tests is recommended (
get notified when available).

What is COVID-19 PCR?

At the center of the Coronavirus is RNA (similar to DNA). PCR testing takes the RNA and copies it millions of times until it can be detected. If you are negative COVID-19, then there will be no RNA to copy. COVID-19 PCR testing is considered very accurate for the detection of COVID-19, however, it is highly recommended to add the ImmunoBlot antibody test to verify infection/exposure and clarity protective immunity.

What is the ImmunoBlot Blood Test?

There are indirect ways to test for the coronavirus: ELISA and immunoblotting. ELISA testing is faster but its major drawback is the rate of false positives since there are multiple strains of coronaviruses other than COVID-19 that the test can show positive for.

ImmunoBlot testing is more complex but it much more accurate, using an advanced technique (electrophoresis) to detect COVID-19 and provide information on protective immunity. It is suggested to run both PCR and ImmunoBlot to obtain the best and most accurate results.

Will the ImmunoBlot show if I’m Immune to the coronavirus?

Yes. If you are not showing symptoms and your Immunoblot IgG antibodies are elevated, this means you have been exposed and you are very likely immune to COVID-19. You could still be a carrier of coronavirus (indicated by the PCR test) so you should still practice social distasting and wear a face mask to help protect others.

If you are only interested in the ImmunoBlot test to see if you are immune to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it can be ordered separately here (now available).
