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?
Childcare centres and school health offices are frequent reasons for testing here. Their policies generally require documentation from a laboratory before a child returns, and we provide a result in a form the office will accept.
- Highly accurate laboratory analysis
- Trusted diagnostic method
- Suitable for many travel requirements
- Supports workplace and school testing needs
- Helps guide appropriate healthcare decisions

A Reliable Standard for COVID-19 Diagnosis
PCR is widely regarded as the reference standard for detecting active COVID-19 infection. Turnaround depends on laboratory processing rather than on us, and we give you the current expected window when you book. By identifying the virus’s genetic material through advanced laboratory analysis, PCR provides dependable results that healthcare providers and patients can trust, whether testing is needed for symptoms, a known exposure, or an organization’s requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How close is PCR testing to Redford?
Our counter is in neighboring Livonia at 37672 Professional Center Drive. The swab itself takes only a few minutes once you are there.
Should Redford patients book ahead?
Yes, for PCR. Samples travel with a laboratory courier, so we schedule collection to get yours away the same day. One call sorts it.
When will I hear back?
The laboratory sets the pace, not the pharmacy, and it varies with demand. We quote the current realistic window when you book rather than guessing.
Travel is coming up. Which test counts?
Nearly every airline and destination that asks for a test asks for PCR, usually inside a set number of hours before departure. Confirm the requirement, then leave margin for processing.
A rapid test said negative, but I have symptoms.
PCR picks up infection at much lower viral levels, so an early negative rapid result is not the final word. Persisting symptoms are a good reason to test properly.
Does my plan cover the cost?
It depends on why you are testing. Diagnostic testing with symptoms is treated differently from travel screening, which is often not covered, so call with your card first.
Can children from Redford be tested?
Yes. A parent or guardian needs to be present, and telling us the age in advance lets us prepare the right collection approach.
Do I get an official result?
You receive a documented laboratory result, which is exactly what employers, schools and airlines mean when they ask for one. Mention any required format at booking.
