Adenovirus DNA detection By PCR swab

The Adenovirus DNA detection by PCR swab is a molecular diagnostic test that identifies adenoviral genetic material from a respiratory or conjunctival swab sample, providing a sensitive and specific determination of current infection. The assay uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed in certified laboratories, and Touch Connect offers trained technicians for convenient home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE with rapid reporting. Rapid and accurate detection supports clinical management, infection control, and outbreak response, especially for children, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients.
