Preferred Label : SARS coronavirus 2 N gene:ThreshNum:Pt:XXX:Qn:Probe.amp.tar;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) N gene NAA probe (Specimen) [ThreshNum];
LOINC long common name : SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) N gene [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : SARS-CoV-2 N gene Ct Spec Qn NAA probe;
LOINC description : Quantitative detection of nucleic acids within the nucleoprotein (N) gene of SARS
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in various specimens, including lower & upper respiratory,
serum, stool or urine, by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Various
assays have been developed that contain primer-probe sets targeting N gene. [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance]
If using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV)
assay, use the quantitative codes specific for the target 1 (N1) [LOINC: 94311-8]
and target 2 (N2) [LOINC: 94312-6] primer-probe sets for the N gene developed by CDC.
