Detects RNA from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19
This saliva PCR test provides an accurate and reliable method for diagnosing COVID-19. An individual without symptoms of COVID-19 and who is not shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus would expect to have a negative (Not Detected) result in this assay. A negative result happens when the SARS-CoV-2 primers do not match the genetic material in the sample and there is no amplification. This means the sample did not contain any virus.
Easily collect a saliva sample from the comfort and privacy of home
Your COVID saliva test kit includes everything required for your easy spit sample. Spend as little as 2 minutes spitting into the self-collection device. We provide detailed instructions and a prepaid FedEx standard overnight shipping label to return your sample to the lab.
Most COVID-19 tests are done with nasopharyngeal swabs that some people describe as tickling or even stabbing their brain. Considering how invasive the typical COVID-19 swab test is, your kiddo is sure to put up a fight — and even shed some tears. Our at-home saliva COVID test, recommended for individuals 5+, is non-invasive and painless.
