Comparison of advantages of various testing methods of COVID-19

advantages of various testing methods

The detection methods of COVID-19 mainly include nucleic acid detection, antibody detection and antigen detection. Due to the low detection rate of antigen, the SARS-CoV-2 detection mainly focuses on antibody and nucleic acid detection. Nucleic acid detection has the characteristics of early diagnosis, high sensitivity and specificity; However, antibody detection is convenient and rapid, which can be used as a supplementary means of nucleic acid diagnosis. Due to the limitations of “false positive” and “false negative” antibody detection, it is not suitable for general population screening such as returning to work,  and school, nor for epidemiological investigation in low epidemic areas.

NAT Detection process

The detection procedure needs to go through five steps: sampling, sample retention, preservation, nucleic acid extraction and computer detection.

First, collect samples according to the instructions of the kit. The sample types include pharyngeal swab, nasal swab, sputum, bronchial lavage fluid, alveolar lavage fluid, etc.

Because RNA is easy to degrade, flocked swabs without RNase and storage tubes without RNase are used when collecting samples.

After obtaining the patient’s sample, it needs to be tested as soon as possible. If it cannot be tested immediately, it needs to be packaged at low temperature and sent to a special testing institution for testing.

After receiving the sample, the testing institution shall extract the nucleic acid from the sample. The nucleic acid extraction reagent shall use the nucleic acid extraction kit specified in the approved product manual.

Finally, fluorescence PCR nucleic acid detection, that is, machine detection. It takes 70-80 minutes to amplify the extract by fluorescence PCR.

Antibody detection

After the virus invades the human body, the human body will produce corresponding specific antibodies for defense.

According to different molecular structures and antigen specificity, scientists divide immunoglobulins into five categories: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and IgE.

After the antigen enters the human body for the first time, plasma cells secrete antibodies after a certain incubation period. IgM first appeared, but the antibody had short maintenance time, low concentration and low affinity. It lasted for several days to several weeks in the blood. It was a diagnostic index of acute infection; When IgM is about to disappear, the content of IgG reaches the peak. IgG appeared late, but its concentration was high, its maintenance time was long and its affinity was high. The positive serum IgG indicates the middle and late stage of infection or previous infection.  But the antibody content increases rapidly in the short term, which may be several times to dozens of times higher than the original antibody content. It is mainly IgG, which lasts a long time in the body, and IgM rarely increases.

In this epidemic, the researchers studied patients with covid-19 and found that after the virus invades the human body, IgM antibody takes about 5-7 days to produce and IgG antibody takes 10-15 days to produce.

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of two different detection methods

Compared with the serological detection of antibodies, Nucleic Acid Testing can detect patients in the window stage.

Early detection of infected persons is the “gold standard” for COVID-19 detection, but it requires higher detection equipment or platform.

The high sensitivity RT-PCR instrument is expensive, and the laboratory cleanliness and operator requirements are higher. In addition, nucleic acid detection takes a long time. Considering the sample transportation and sample backlog, the results can be reported as soon as 24 hours.

Compared with nucleic acid detection, blood samples detected by antibody serology are easier to obtain. If the RNA of the virus detected by nucleic acid is the direct evidence of the existence of the virus, the antibody detection is the antibody stimulated in the patient’s blood, which is indirect evidence and has a suggestive effect on the clinic.

When nucleic acid detection is negative, adding IgM and IgG antibody detection can make up for the shortcoming that nucleic acid detection is easy to cause missed diagnosis.

    Disposable virus sampling tube kit

    Disposable virus sampling tube kit

    Disposable virus sampling tube kit

    The virus sampling tube consists of swab + sampling tube + virus preservation solution.

    That is, flocked swab, virus sampling tube and virus transport medium.VTM

    Why use a disposable virus sampling tube kit?

    Virus is a very tiny organism, which is composed of nucleic acid and protein shell. Without its own metabolic mechanism, there is no protease system. Therefore, if the virus leaves the host cell, it cannot continue to survive. Such tiny creatures can bring us many diseases, such as RNA, influenza, HIV and H1N1 viruses. Because it has no cellular structure, the virus itself cannot replicate. Instead, it invades the gene into the host cell and replicates a new virus with the help of the latter’s replication system.

    In order to maintain the activity of virus samples and prolong the survival time of virus in samples.

    The sampling swab will be stored and transported in the preservation solution.

    flocked swab_Disposable virus sampling tube kit

    Brief introduction

    1. In the current COVID-19 epidemic situation, virus sample collection is an important link in virus detection.

    2. Disposable virus sampling tube kits can collect, transport, inactivate and store virus samples in specific parts of human body. (not available in the United States).

    So what’s the difference between the non inactivated and inactivated virus sampling tubes?

    about non inactivated and inactivated virus sampling Virus transport medium

    about non inactivated and inactivated virus sampling Virus transport medium

    In short, the non inactivated sampling tube can protect the protein nucleic acid of the virus, so that the sampled virus has its originality, better integrity and higher detection rate. In addition to nucleic acid detection, scientists can also use non inactivated samples in other virus research experiments.

    Advantages:

    ★ easy to operate and use

    ★ add virus stabilizing components to maintain virus activity in a wide temperature range

    And reduce the decomposition rate of virus (non inactivated type)

    1. Low temperature non freezing storage, does not damage the shell of the virus, and is convenient for long-distance transportation.

    2. Applicable to all kinds of swab samples, including oral swab, nasal swab, throat swab, etc.

    ★ it contains virus lysate and virus nucleic acid preservation solution, which can quickly lyse the virus

    Release nucleic acid and stably store nucleic acid (inactivated type)

    The inactivated sampling tube contains cleavage salt, which can destroy the protein of the virus. However, it can protect the nucleic acid of the virus, so that the virus has no infectious activity. The sampling virus in the inactivated sampling tube can prevent the risk of secondary infection and ensure the safety of transportation and testing personnel.

    note

    1. forbidden to directly contact the preservation solution with virus samples.

    2. forbidden to infiltrate the swab with preservation solution before sampling.

    3. only used for the collection, transportation and preservation of virus samples. It shall not be used beyond the expected purpose.

    4. Before using this product, pay attention to the shelf life and whether the packaging is intact.
