Which tests to choose?

  • High Priority Molecular Swab (RT-PCR): It is a PCR swab with a report by 12.00 of the day following the sample collection (barring unforeseen circumstances). Not available on Sundays / Hollidays. Required by airlines to travel. Booking Here
  • Rapid Antigen Swab:Search for characteristic viral proteins (antigens) in the respiratory sample. Useful to intercept people with a high viral load and often required to travel. Our antigenic swabs are recognized by the European Union for travelers. Booking Here
  • Rapid Serological Test:Detects (without mesuring) the presence in the blood of antibodies to Covid resulting both from natural infection or vaccination. Not useful in verifying whether a person is contagious for which purpose it is recommended the swab. Booking Here
  • Quantitative Serological Test:Measure the IgG antibodies induced by the virus or vaccine (without distinguishing between them). Requires venous blood sampling. Booking Here
  • Standard Molecular Swab (RT-PCR): The benchmark diagnostic test in terms of sensitivity and specificity for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Our test is also sensitive to all the latest virus variants. Results in 3 working days. Travellers should prefer the High Priority RT-PCR. Booking Here
