The PCR test is a test that detects the presence of the genetic material of the virus. This is a test that replicates the virus genome, a method that allows detecting a fragment of the genetic material of a pathogen. The PCR test achieves early detection of the coronavirus in the early stages of the infectious process, regardless of whether there are no symptoms yet or are not going to develop them, as in the case of asymptomatic people.
At Clínica del Río-Hortega we have the necessary means to guarantee PCR test results in less than 12 hours.
¿How a PCR Test is performed?
En Policlínica del Río-Hortega will carry out the extraction of the sample. This consists of a nasopharyngeal exudate carried out by qualified health personnel, where a swab is inserted through the nostrils. The process can be a bit annoying, but it's not painful and doesn't take more than 30 seconds.
When we obtain the sample and verify that it is valid for analysis, it is taken to the clinical laboratory for study.
PCR Test results take less than 12 hours and the Official Certificate is sent by email for the patient's convenience.
