RT-PCR Test Dublin

Currently, the majority of COVID-19 tests are using PCR. They are the Gold Standard as they detect the genetic information of the virus in the RNA.

This test gives you the best indicator if you are infected and enables you and your close contacts to isolate and reduce the impact of COVID-19 and contain the virus.

A PCR test is done, with the help of an HCP, in one of our Clinics.

A nasopharyngeal swab (nose and throat) is used to collect the sample.

Samples are Couriered to our HSE accredited Lab by 1 pm Mon-Fri.

Results of the PCR Test are emailed to you the following morning.
