English term or phrase: PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test
Definition from NPR:
A diagnostic test that detects viral particles in blood or bodily fluids. Through a process called PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, small amounts of pathogen DNA are amplified — or copied --- to sufficient levels for detection. Studies of isolated pieces of DNA are nearly impossible without PCR amplification.

Example sentence(s):
  • As ICMR has allowed rapid antibody testing in India, experts believe that it will help the agencies to enhance screening and identifying capabilities. Presently the government uses the PCR tests to detect Covid-19 from samples of throat or nasal swab of people with symptoms. India Today
  • Indonesia to receive 50,000 COVID-19 PCR test kits from South Korea The Jakarta Post
  • Most coronavirus testing discussed by public officials and the media refers to polymerase chain reaction testing, better known as PCR. The RT-PCR machine heats and cools the samples in a process that essentially Xeroxes the DNA, making thousands of copies of any genetic material in the samples. Live Science

Polymerázová reťazová reakcia (PCR, z angl. polymerase chain reaction) je technika, ktorá umožňuje namnožiť určitý úsek molekuly DNA.

Example sentence(s):
  • Preto boli vyvinuté najnovšie diagnostické metódy založené na polymerázovej reťazovej reakcii (PCR) – detekcii vysoko špecifických genómových sekvencií nukleotidov v nukleových kyselinách (opakovaním amplifikačných cyklov sa získa veľké množstvo rovnakých úsekov DNA - amplikónov), ktoré sa dajú s úspechom využiť v rutinnej i výskumnej diagnostike pôvodcu toxoplazmózy. - laboratornadiagnostika.sk  
  • V súčasnosti trvá zistenie prítomnosti vírusu založené na polymerázovej reťazovej reakcii 1,5 až tri hodiny. - aktuality.sk

test PCR (test s využitím polymerázovej reťazovej reakcie)


Definition from wikipedia :
Polymerázová reťazová reakcia (PCR, z angl. polymerase chain reaction) je technika, ktorá umožňuje namnožiť určitý úsek molekuly DNA.

Example sentence(s):
  • Princíp PCR je založený na činnosti DNA polymerázy, ktorá amplifikuje (množí) vlákno DNA v smere 5'-3'. DNA polymeráza však nedokáže syntetizovať nové vlákno DNA od začiatku, potrebuje na to tzv. primer, čo je krátky úsek DNA, ktorý je presne komplementárny s vláknom DNA, ktoré je potrebné amplifikovať (tzv. templátové vlákno alebo templát [2]; porovnaj s replikáciou, pri ktorej bunka používa ako primer RNA [3].). - wikpedia
