What is an Antigen Test?

An antigen test is a viral test that detects ‘antigens’- molecules on the surface of a virus that can induce an immune response. Often confused with antibodies – antigens are actually what stimulates the production of antibodies, kickstarting your body into beginning to fight a virus.

Our antigen tests are typically able to provide results within 20 minutes with results printed on-site. A digital copy of your results will be emailed to you within hours (please see our testing location pages for details).

What is an RT-PCR Test?

An RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) test is a viral, molecular test that detects genetic material from a particular organism – in this case the COVID-19 virus.

After your RT-PCR test appointment, your sample is taken to one of our labs to be processed. Results timelines can vary from site to site due to transport and volume (please see our testing location pages for further details).
