PCR Testing for COVID with PhysioFunction Ltd
The PCR tests used are to detect the presence of active coronavirus which would indicate a current infection.
What will happen during the test?
You will be given the swab testing kit and will obtain a swab sample (using a long cotton bud) from the back of the throat and inside of the nose.
The test is self-administered in your car at our clinic in Northamptonshire.
You will need to view the video and carefully read the instructions before attending in order that you can perform the test effectively.

Swabs are then taken to the laboratory on the same day for analysis and results are available by email within 24-48 hours.

About the PCR Tests
Our tests come from 20/30 Labs who are a UKAS accredited testing facility and are considered to be the UK’s leading microbiological consultancy. The PCR analysers used at 20/30 Labs are twice as sensitive as those routinely used in NHS testing. This means that it can detect individuals without symptoms - Asymptomatic Carriers- and the presence or otherwise of the virus of those with symptoms.
