What to Expect

During the test, our trained lab personnel will swipe a sterile nasal swab about ¾ inches (.5 cm) into your nose. The swab will be “swirled” for about 10 seconds in each nostril and then the test is complete.

What’s PCR Testing?

PCR (nasal swab testing) is recognized by the FDA as the most accurate and reliable form of COVID-19 testing.

The test detects the presence of COVID-19 genetic material (RNA) using a technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR. RNA is extracted from your sample and transcribed to DNA. Then the DNA is amplified (many copies are made) so that the lab can obtain a meaningful result.
