1. RT-PCR Tests (We offer RT-PCR tests)
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests are the gold standard in Covid-19 testing. It is a laboratory method that detects the specific viral genetic material called RNA. PCR tests are very accurate, however, they take time to process.

We will send your Lateral Flow Antigen test kit to you by the Royal Mail 24 Tracked service.

This system works well in most cases. However, please ensure that you allow adequate time for us to deliver your test kit.
VENUE BASED PCR SAMPLE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTING YOUR SAMPLE TO THE LABORATORY
For our Fit-To-Fly, Test-To-Release and Non-Travel PCR testing, we collect samples from 18 venues across the Midlands only ever use our own couriers to deliver your sample to the laboratory.
Our couriers travel to every collection venue seven days a week, and they hand-deliver every sample to the laboratory.
In our experience, this is by far the safest way to ensure that the results are returned on time.
