What is PCR COVID-19 Testing
PCR is the laboratory method rather than the at-home strip. A swab is taken at our counter, sent to a lab and processed properly, which is why it detects the virus at lower levels than a rapid test and why institutions accept it. The trade is time. A rapid test answers today; a PCR answers accurately.
Why Choose PCR Testing?
Families travelling to visit relatives abroad account for much of our PCR testing. Destination rules differ and often apply to children as well as adults, so we confirm what each traveller needs and book collection with enough margin for processing.
- Highly accurate laboratory analysis
- Trusted diagnostic method
- Suitable for many travel requirements
- Supports workplace and school testing needs
- Helps guide appropriate healthcare decisions

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth the drive from Canton for a PCR?
If you need a documented laboratory result, yes, because an at-home test will not satisfy an airline or employer. Book ahead so it is a few minutes at the counter.
Which test do I need for travel?
Almost always PCR, often within a set number of hours before departure. Check your destination and airline requirement first, then book with margin.
How long do results take?
It depends on laboratory processing. We give you the current expected window when you book.
My rapid test was negative but I feel unwell.
PCR detects the virus at lower levels, so a negative rapid result early in an infection is not conclusive.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking is better for PCR, because collection is scheduled around the laboratory courier.
Is testing covered by insurance?
It varies with your plan and the reason. Travel testing is often not covered.
Can children be tested?
Yes. Tell us the age when you call, and a parent or guardian needs to be present.
Can the family test together?
Usually. Say how many when you book so we can allow the time rather than keeping you waiting.
