RT-PCR Test Booking Process In Simple Steps:


Product Information:

A PCR test is used to detect the virus’s genetic material in your body. This test is used to diagnose the active coronavirus infection. By detecting the presence of viral RNA, the test can tell whether or not the person has contacted the virus very early on. This test is usually highly accurate and does not need to be repeated. It is done through a nasal and throat swab sample.

Our pioneering test for COVID-19 utilises PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to accurately and reliably diagnose COVID-19, thus facilitating appropriate containment and reducing further spread of disease.


What is a RT-PCR Test with a Test Report?

This test kit can be used by people who want to get tested for their peace of mind, maybe experiencing any symptoms of the virus, believed to be exposed to the virus, or exposed to someone tested positive for COVID 19.

The certificate included in this kit includes your name, date of birth, date of results, and your test results. It is a simple lab report showing your test result, signed by the lab’s supervisor.

FAQ

Where does your fulfillment take place?
All orders are fulfilled by our designated Covid 19 testing team from our local fulfillment centre in Birmingham. To meet the demand of the epidemic  and to ensure that staff and procedures remain safe we have had to separate this from the day-to-day running of our pharmacy. This ensures that all COVID orders can be prioritised by our dedicated team members ensuring you get your order on time.

How does it work?
PCR is short for "polymerase chain reaction"; it is a well established technique and has a high level of accuracy if performed by a trained laboratory professional. In simple terms the process of PCR is to gather small trace amounts of DNA and replicate them. Researchers studying the Novel COVID 19 virus have extracted hundreds of different genome sequences that help identify the presence of COVID 19. The COVID19 virus has RNA as its genetic material rather than DNA. A method called “reverse transcription” (RT) is used to convert the RNA into its complementary DNA which can then be replicated. This is why the PCR test should strictly be called the RT-PCR test. Once the sample is taken the Lab will remove all unnecessary components stripping the sample down to the essential genetic material. Once the RT-PCR process has been completed, due to the replication process, it will be easy to ascertain the presence or absence of COVID 19.
What does this test tell me?
The PCR test will tell you whether or not you are currently infected with COVID19 as it detects the amount of viral RNA (antigen) present in the sample. PCR tests give us a good indication as to who is infected and allows companies, business and other commercial institutions to determine who is safe to work as well as determining who needs to remain at home in quarantine. PCR tests can also be ordered by individuals to determine if family members are safe to visit (alongside government guidelines). It is used as a method for airlines to determine those passengers that are "fit to fly". Those who require a "fit to fly" certificate will receive one if results are negative, It can also be used to determine if a person is fit to work.
Where will the test be carried out?
The PCR test is a home test kit that will be sent to any given UK address via the post. The test will be taken at the comfort of your own home and can be performed by any consenting adult. Most UK addresses (with the exception of the Scottish Highlands) will be able to receive the test within 1 working day.
Does this test involve a nose and throat swab?
Yes. This test requires a throat and nose swab.
How long does it take to get results?
We can ensure results within 12 to 48 hours of receiving your test kit at our labs. There are other time restraints that should be factored in as well. It will take 1 working day for you to receive your test kit. It will then take another working day to get your sample from your house to the lab using an express delivery such as DX.  We advise all our customers to ensure their plans are based around the maximum turnaround time to avoid any logistical delays. We can not be held liable for any delays caused by our courier services.
How do I take the test once I receive it?
Sample: Swab the back of your throat for 1 minute
Send: Return your sample to our Lab using one of our drop box locations.
Register: Assign your unique barcode to your name either on the day you send it or the day after (depending on your COVID window)
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result would indicate that you are currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and are potentially infectious. You will need to isolate/ quarantine yourself according to government and NHS guidelines.
Will this test tell me if I have previously had COVID 19?
No, this test is a PCR test and as a result it will only indicate current infections. To ascertain past infections of previous exposure you can try our antibody test.
