Need a rapid result for Fit to Fly Certification?
Visit one of our clinics where a trained healthcare professional will collect your sample.
Sample
A healthcare professional will use a swab to collect a sample from your throat and nose. The swab comprises of a long thin flexible stick with a soft tip. After a sample has been collected, the healthcare professional will put the swab in a tube, seal it and send it to a laboratory for testing.
Test
As soon as the laboratory technologist receives your sample, they will perform a process called extraction. This process isolates genetic material from the sample, including any virus that may be present.
Analyse
PCR testing involves using a machine called a thermal cycler. This causes a reaction that makes millions of copies of a small portion of the genetic material that makes up the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If SARS-CoV-2 is present in your sample, one of the chemicals will produce fluorescent light. If no light is detected, you will receive a negative test.
