STEP 2: SAMPLE
“There can be no good result without a good sample”
This is a key step for the reliability of the results which is why our healthcare professionals are trained in taking this type of sample. A swab is taken from both the throat and nose (with the same swab bud) to increase the reliability of the examination. First the throat, then the nose, as recommended by the government.
The swab used is specifically designed to minimize the inconvenience caused to the patient: they are thin and flexible to ensure a test that is not painful.
STEP 3: ANALYSIS
The analysis of the samples is carried out in our ultra-specialized MEGALAB by RT-PCR: the genetic material of the Sars-Cov2 virus is sought after amplification.
Biogroup has made the choice of excellence by opting for high-capacity machines from MGI, the world leader in molecular diagnostics for Sars-Cov2.
This technology is what allows us to provide reliable and quick results.
STEP 4: RESULT
Biogroup laboratories are committed to delivering accurate and reliable results via email. Results that come back as positive are referred to be reviewed by our medical team.
Next, you will receive a confirmation certificate signed by our medical referral.
It is imperative in slowing the rate of contamination that patients receive their results as soon as possible, hence our guarantee to send out results within 24 hours of testing.
