What Is PCR Testing?

​

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing—also referred to as molecular testing—is considered the “gold standard” of COVID-19 diagnostics. A PCR test screens for the genetic material (RNA) of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for the respiratory disease known as COVID-19. This method is highly accurate, even in patients without noticeable symptoms, and is relied upon by healthcare professionals throughout the world.

​
