The difference is that the one-person tube tests for nucleic acids alone, which is good for individual screening, while the latter tests for nucleic acids in a 10-person tube, which is good for group screening. The one-person tube is a single-sample test for nucleic acids, while the 10-person tube is a mixed test for nucleic acids, in which swabs from 10 people are mixed in the same tube, both of which are nucleic acid tests. Whether the test is done in a one-person tube or a 10-person tube, if the result is negative, it means that the person or 10 people sampled are not infected with the virus at the moment. If the one-person test is positive, it means that the person being sampled may be infected with the virus. If the 10-person test result is positive, then the 10 persons should be re-tested using the one-person-tube approach to determine which of the 10 persons is infected with the virus. Nucleic acid testing is used to determine the presence of a virus in the body by detecting the presence of nucleic acid from an invading virus in a respiratory specimen, blood, or feces. Single-sample testing for nucleic acids is performed by placing a single specimen in a separate tube and is suitable for individual testing, while mixed-sample testing for nucleic acids is performed by mixing multiple specimens in the same tube and is suitable for group screening. Both single specimen testing and mixed testing labs take the same amount of time to detect the presence of the appropriate virus in the test tube. It is important to note that if an infectious virus nucleic acid test, such as the New Crown Nucleic Acid Test, is performed, it is recommended that masks be worn correctly before and after the test and that you do not stay in crowded areas.
