COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA by PCR (Self-collect) – Private Testing in London
The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA by PCR (Self-collect) is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £215. It requires a swab sample, and results are typically available within 1 day.
This PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test detects the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA, providing highly sensitive molecular-level detection of active infection or presence.
Who Should Consider the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA by PCR (Self-collect)?
Individuals with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA infection, or those requiring confirmation of active infection. PCR is the gold standard for detecting many infectious agents even in very small quantities.
PCR tests are highly sensitive. They can detect very small amounts of pathogen genetic material. However, a positive result may persist for a period after infection has resolved. Clinical correlation is essential.
The swab is taken quickly by our trained nurses, with minimal discomfort. Our clinic is on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 2362.
