The speedy spread of Coronavirus has stimulated the need for COVID-19 diagnostics. Symptoms like breathing difficulties, running nose due to cold, muscle pain, and coughing are the common ones. But, these symptoms are also popular for other diseases like influenza. Hence, the diagnosis for COVID-19 is essential to cure people, stop the spread of disease, and ultimately reduce or control the growing cases of affected people. Several researchers across the globe have introduced diagnosis for COVID-19, but amongst these, some tests simply test for the virus itself by searching for RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 causing the novel Coronavirus. When these diagnoses are conducted rightly, the results of virus detection are reliable. Nonetheless, these tests are inefficient for determining if the affected and cured individual has recovered from the disease or not.
Other tests search for antibiotics for the virus. These antibodies are the proof that an individual's body has produced immune response. The process of production of antibodies is time consuming; hence, the antibodies test is also not very efficient for detecting the virus in the initial days of infection. However, in comparison to the RNA, these tests provide efficiency to determine if the individual was previously infected with the said virus and today no longer has the virus present in the body.Major Key Players of the COVID-19 Diagnostics Market are:
Seegene Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, altona Diagnostics GmbH, SD BIOSENSOR, Abbott, BIOMEDOMICS INC., Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., VivaChek Biotech (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., Sensing Self, PTE. Ltd, Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer Inc., among others.
