Why Molecular Testing?
Molecular tests look for the virus's genetic material rather than proteins on its surface. Because of this, they can detect infections with greater sensitivity than many rapid antigen tests — especially early in an illness. No test is perfect, and a negative result does not rule out every respiratory infection.
