Step 1: Understanding what is Nucleic acid testing (NAT)
Detecting and amplifying genetic material (DNA or RNA) in samples is possible using the extremely sensitive laboratory method known as nucleic acid testing (NAT). It is essential for many purposes, such as checking donated blood for viral illnesses like HIV and hepatitis since it may detect infections early on and lower the chance of transmission.
