A PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test detects the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is the most accurate method for diagnosing an active COVID-19 infection — the laboratory copies any viral RNA present in your sample millions of times over until even a very small amount becomes measurable. That amplification step is why PCR stays more sensitive than a rapid antigen test, particularly early in an infection, when antigen tests often read negative while symptoms have already started. Our COVID-19 PCR test reports one result — SARS-CoV-2 detected or not detected — from a single nose-and-throat swab.

A trained professional collects a swab sample from your nose and throat. It is quick, and any mild discomfort passes within seconds. No special preparation is needed. It is best to avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for about 30 minutes before a swab for the cleanest sample, and to leave nasal sprays and decongestants alone for the hour beforehand.

Booking for travel? Airlines and border authorities count the turnaround window from the moment your sample is collected, not from the moment the report reaches your inbox — so tell our team your departure time when you book and we will match the package to it. Browse the full Lab at Home service for everything else we can collect on the same visit.

What this COVID-19 PCR test confirms

One nose-and-throat swab, supervised by DHA Approved Professional:

  • An active COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection
  • The virus’s genetic material, even at a low viral load
  • A DHA-approved result accepted for travel, work and healthcare
  • Whether isolation or treatment decisions are needed now
  • Whether close contacts in your household should be informed
Fast Result Time

Our Exclusive COVID-19 PCR Test at-Home Packages

Every package runs the same DHA-approved RT-PCR assay on the same nose-and-throat swab — what changes is how quickly the accredited laboratory reports it back to you. Pick the one that matches your flight, your workplace requirement or simply your patience.

Standard Package

Choose our Standard package and you get your Covid-19 PCR Test Result within 18-24 hours. The right choice for routine screening, a workplace requirement or peace of mind when nothing is booked for tomorrow.

Fast-Track Package

Select our Fast-Track package and you will receive your Covid-19 PCR Test Result in a speedy 12 hours. An evening swab reports by the morning, which suits most next-day plans.

Ultra-Fast Package

Opt for our Ultra-Fast package, and receive your PCR Test Results within a swift 6 to 8 hours. Built for same-day travel and event entry, where the clock starts at sample collection rather than at reporting.

Super-Sonic Package

Select our Super Sonic Package and receive your PCR test results in 3 to 5 hours. Our quickest turnaround, for a departure gate that will not wait.

What a COVID-19 PCR swab reports
SARS-CoV-2 RNA — detected or not detectedOne nose & throat swab — no blood draw, no fastingDHA-approved report, valid for travel
PCR, antigen or antibody — which COVID-19 test do you actually need?

A PCR test detects the virus’s genetic material and is the most accurate for active infection. An antigen test detects viral proteins and gives faster but less reliable results. An antibody test checks for past infection or vaccine response and is best taken at least 14 days after infection.

PCR — the reference standard

The PCR test is the most accurate and reliable for detecting an active COVID-19 infection, which is why it is the standard for travel and medical use.

Rapid antigen — faster, less reliable

An antigen test detects viral proteins and gives faster but less reliable results — it can read negative early in an infection when a PCR test would already be positive.

Antibody — a look backwards

An antibody test checks for past infection or vaccine response and is best taken at least 14 days after infection. It cannot tell you whether you are infectious today.

Get tested if you have symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, or loss of smell and taste, if you have been in close contact with a positive case, or before travel or a large gathering.
