FastPCR is a modification of the conventional PCR technique that is designed to produce results more quickly. It uses the same principles of DNA or RNA amplification but optimizes various aspects of the process to reduce the time needed for testing.
In the context of COVID-19 testing, fast PCR tests are designed to provide rapid results for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These tests are particularly valuable in situations where quick turnaround times are crucial, such as in clinical settings, airports, and mass testing sites.
FastPCR tests can yield results within a shorter timeframe, typically in a matter of 2 to 3 hours or even less. They maintain the accuracy and sensitivity of standard PCR tests, making them reliable for COVID-19 detection.
