Yes, PCR is the most commonly used NAAT technique for detecting specific nucleic acid in a sample. NAAT techniques such as PCR and TMA are both sensitive and specific for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in a sample. This contrasts with antigen testing which detects a specific viral protein in a sample. Antigen tests are more rapid but than PCR tests but may not detect all infections (less sensitive) and are more susceptible to false positive results (less specific).
