COVID-19 RAPID PCR TEST (RT-PCR)
The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test is a molecular in vitro diagnostic test utilizing end point reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and lateral flow technologies for the qualitative, visual detection of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. The four steps utilized to perform the test are lysis of the virus, reverse transcription of viral RNA to cDNA, nucleic acid amplification, and detection.
Test results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test has been released under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection), and can be used in applications that require molecular/ RT-PCR testing.
Many travel restrictions require a RT-PRC, molecular, or NAAT test be conducted prior to arrival at the destination. The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 test satisfies most travel requirements; however, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify the test will be accepted for travel prior to purchase.

I was interested in a COVID test and after doing a quick search found their website which was very easy to understand and book the appointment. The staff was friendly and my trip there was easy.
Scheduled a RT-PCR COVID test and was impressed with the ease of check in and the fast administration of the test. Friendly staff and clinician. Will definitely go back for more tests or urgent care needs.
Easy and hassle-free COVID test! My appointment was at 4pm and I was in my car by 4:05pm. The staff was very nice and helpful!
