CBNAAT COVID-19 Test in Delhi and Gurgaon
What is CBNAAT (Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test)?
CBNAAT is a diagnostic tool used to test for the presence of COVID-19. It provides rapid results with high accuracy through an easy-to-use method that can be used for point of care testing for COVID-19. The test uses a machine that can detect the genetic material of the virus from a nasal or oral swab sample. The test has been approved both by US-FDA and CE.
How does CBNAAT work?
CBNAAT works by amplifying the genetic material of the COVID-19 virus in a sample. The test uses a cartridge containing reagents and a sample preparation solution. CBNAAT runs more cycles (40 cycles) as compared to the conventional RTPCR test for detection of COVID-19 infection. The solution is mixed with the patient's sample and loaded into the machine. The machine then heats and cools the sample, allowing the virus's genetic material to be amplified and detected. The test results are available in 2-3 hours or less.
What are the benefits of CBNAAT testing for COVID-19?

How is CBNAAT testing for COVID-19 done?
CBNAAT testing for COVID-19 is done by collecting a nasal or oral swab sample from the patient. The sample is then placed in a cartridge containing the necessary reagents and solution. The cartridge is then loaded into the CBNAAT machine, and the test is run. The results are available in 2 hours or less.
What should I do if my CBNAAT test is positive?
