The PCR test for COVID-19 is the most accurate and reliable test for diagnosing COVID-19. This polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is performed to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. The test detects the presence of a virus if you are infected at the time of the test. The CC Medical team can visit your home or office to administer your test.

FAQ’S

There are three key steps to the PCR test: 

1. Sample Collection:

   Sample collection is done using a swab to collect respiratory material found in your nose. After collection, the swab is sealed in a tube and then sent to a laboratory.

2. Extraction:

   The laboratory tech performs a process called extraction, which isolates genetic material from the sample including genetic material from any virus that may be present.

3. PCR:

   The PCR step uses special chemicals and a thermal cycler which produces a fluorescent light if SARS-CoV-2 is present in the sample. This fluorescent light is a “signal” of a positive test result.
