Opening hours and locationsWhat to bring

What we offer

Medilab provides professional COVID-19 testing by both PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and rapid antigen methods, for travel, workplace clearance, medical assessment and peace of mind.

PCR testing

The gold standard in molecular testing.

  • Specimen — deep nasal or nasopharyngeal swab
  • Method — real-time RT-PCR using validated clinical assays
  • Sensitivity — above 95%, detecting even low viral loads
  • Turnaround — results within 24 hours
  • Validation — a digitally signed certificate with a QR code, suitable for international travel
  • Chain of custody — logged collection, barcode tracking, sealed transport, automated extraction
  • Reporting — delivered through the secure patient portal, with physician review available

Best used for

  • Pre-travel clearance
  • Pre-surgical screening
  • Confirming infection in symptomatic or exposed individuals
  • Clinical documentation for hospitals, employers or insurers

Rapid antigen testing

Fast, effective screening where the viral load is high.

  • Specimen — shallow nasal swab, less invasive
  • Method — lateral flow immunoassay detecting viral surface proteins
  • Sensitivity — around 80% overall, above 95% in symptomatic or high-viral-load individuals
  • Turnaround — 15 to 30 minutes
  • Use case — entry testing, event clearance, screening for contagiousness
  • Certification — optional time-stamped result slip or QR-coded PDF

Not accepted by every travel destination — check the regulations before you rely on it.
