Once the swabs are received by our laboratory staff, where receipt of the sample is recorded on to our laboratory information management system (LIMS), the samples are handled in an appropriate safety cabinet, where they are unpacked, and the sample treated to inactivate any live virus. The sample is then processed using an automated extraction platform to isolate any RNA from the SARS-Cov-2 virus and a reverse-transcription, real-time PCR assay is then used to detect the presence of the viral RNA genome. Results are then released to our secure online portal to be downloaded. Postitive samples sent for day 2 test for international travel arrivals will be subject to whole genome sequencing.Unless you opt to collect from us we will post your test kit using Royal Mail Tracked 24 delivery service.
