SARS-CoV-2 BY PCR

The SARS-CoV-2 BY PCR is a molecular diagnostic test that detects SARS‑CoV‑2 viral RNA in respiratory specimens collected at home. It uses real‑time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‑PCR) to amplify and identify viral gene targets, offering high sensitivity and specificity for active infection detection.

This test is ideal for diagnosing symptomatic individuals, screening close contacts, meeting pre-travel or employer requirements in Dubai, and confirming COVID-19 status before medical procedures. Home collection by trained professionals and certified laboratory reports ensure convenience, reliable results, and compliance with UAE travel and workplace documentation standards.

• SARS-CoV-2 RNA (Detected / Not Detected)
• Cycle threshold (Ct) value
• Gene targets (e.g., N, ORF1ab, E)
• Specimen type (Nasopharyngeal / Oropharyngeal swab)

• If you have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (fever, cough, loss of taste/smell)
• After close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case
• Prior to travel when a PCR certificate is required by airlines or destination authorities
• For workplace screening or employer-mandated testing in Dubai/UAE
• Before elective medical procedures or hospital admission

• High accuracy for detecting active SARS‑CoV‑2 infection
• Certified lab report suitable for many Dubai travel and work requirements
• Home sample collection by trained healthcare professionals
• Electronic results with timely turnaround to meet deadlines
• Supports clinical decision-making, isolation and contact‑tracing measures

• Valid Emirates ID or passport available at time of home visit for verification
• Appointment for trained technician to perform nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab
• Avoid eating, drinking, smoking or using nasal sprays for 30 minutes prior to sampling
• Inform the technician of recent COVID vaccination, symptoms, or recent positive tests
