How does a PCR test work?
A throat and nasal sample is required. It will be taken by a nurse, a doctor, or by yourself at home under our guidance (via video call). The sample will then be analysed using a PCR machine. The PCR test works by detecting the genetic material of a virus at a molecular level. It can identify not just COVID-19, but also influenza, common cold viruses and other causes of respiratory infection from the same sample. This means it can pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms. PCR testing can confirm or rule out an active Coronavirus (Covid-19) infection.
We currently offer 2 types of Covid-19 Antibody Tests:
Instant Antibody Testing: uses a small blood sample taken via a finger prick by a nurse or doctor.
During the same appointment, we will take the blood sample, analyse the outcome and share the results. Providing you with instant confirmation of presence of IgM / IgG antibodies.
Laboratory Abbotts Antibody Testing: uses a venous blood sample collection by a nurse or doctor and is sent to a laboratory for analysis. An accredited laboratory will analyse your results and we will provide these to you in 2-3 days.
We offer both tests in our clinic for £195.
– This cost includes our appointment fee, and help interpreting the results.
We recommend antibody testing only for people who have had symptoms of possible infection, more than 14 days previously. Or in some circumstances following a positive rt-PCR result.
