Remove the Guesswork...
Find out the exact cause of your symptoms in under 2 hours.
PCR technology is used to target the genetic material of viruses and bacteria that cause infection, and amplifies the tiniest traces to make them detectable and identifiable. Due to the pandemic, everyone became familiar with PCR for testing for Covid-19 but it can be done for much more than this. It is a quick and efficient way of identifying the disease-causing organism that is making you feel unwell.
We test for multiple causes from a single sample, so we can clearly pinpoint the cause of your symptoms. Identification allows tailored treatment to make you feel better again.

It was a massive relief to know exactly what she had.
- A. HumphreysOver the weekend, our 6-week old daughter developed the sniffles. As new parents, we were very concerned since we live in the same house as my father, who had been isolating for the past week because of Covid. We sent a saliva swab to the Fleet Street Clinic, and about 2 hours later we received confirmation not only that she was Covid-free, but that she had a confirmed PCR diagnosis of rhinovirus infection – a simple cold. It was a massive relief to know exactly what she had.

FAQs
All that’s needed is a small swab from the throat and/or nose. This then goes into a small plastic vial containing liquid solution. Using our in-house lab, the sample is tested right away and takes a little over 1 hour to process on the machine.
PCR stands for “polymerase chain reaction” which is a biochemical method of searching samples for the tiniest traces of genetic material belonging to disease-causing organisms, and then amplifying them to a point where they can be easily detected to determine if an infection is present. This can be done for any disease-causing organism and we can test for multiple causes within the same sample – making it really quick and efficient at identifying illnesses. We can clearly pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and work out the best course of treatment.
Yes, we have an onsite pharmacy based at 29 Fleet Street Clinic. Once a diagnosis has been made, the correct treatment such as antibiotics or antiviral medications can be dispensed right away.
One of our nurses can come to you, to take a sample. If you are happy to take a swab yourself, we can send you a swab with a courier, who will wait while you take the sample and then bring it back to our lab for processing – we’ll send you the result without delay.
