Types of COVID-19 Tests We Offer
RT-PCR test
This test detects the virus. A submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
RT-PCR results clearly tells if you are infected with SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease.
RT-PCR sample is collected with a swab from the inside of the nose or from the throat, places likely to have the virus that causes COVID-19.
RT-PCR results can be released in 24 and 48 hours - depending on the result validity you require.
Ideal for people looking for a gold standard COVID-19 Test
Antigen Rapid Test
This test detects the virus antigens. Antigens are the molecular structures on the surface of viruses. These are recognized by the immune system and are capable of triggering an immune response or antibody production.
Antigen Rapid Test results can tell if you are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease.

Antigen Rapid Test is ideal for people looking for quality result without compromising speed of results delivery, convenience and cost.
It is perfect for screening large groups of people that may have to be tested several times.
Most businesses use Antigen Rapid test to screen all the employees, conducting also a RT-PCR test only to those employees that have tested positive.
Antibody Rapid Test
This type of test detects the antibodies. An antibody is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
It detects 2 kinds of Antibodies:
IgM which is present when you are infected and IgG which is present when you have been infected in the past.
Antibody Rapid Test results can tell if:
(a) you are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease (b) If you have been infected in the past or (c) if you have developed the antibodies.
We look for the antibodies presence in the blood. We use whole blood and it is extracted directly from the vein as the reliability of the results improve significantly over capillary blood prick.
