RP PCR Test
Your comprehensive test for Respiratory Pathogens.
Our RP PCR Test offers fast, reliable, and comprehensive detection of a wide range of pathogens, including:
Common Coronaviruses
Influenza & RSV
Bacterial Pathogens
Sample Type: Nasopharyngeal Swab
For patients presenting with respiratory symptoms such as cough, fever, congestion, or difficulty breathing to identify viral and bacterial causes of upper or lower respiratory tract infections.
Key Technical Features
Broad-Spectrum Pathogen Detection
Covers viruses, bacteria, and atypical pathogens in a single panel — essential for accurately diagnosing complex respiratory outbreaks, especially in children, elderly or immunocompromised populations.
Rapid 24-Hour PCR Results
Delivers molecular results within 24 hours, enabling timely isolation, treatment, and infection control decisions — reducing the risk of widespread outbreaks in congregate care settings.
Targeted, Cost-Effective Care
Differentiates bacterial from viral infections to support appropriate therapy and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, lowering the risks and costs of overtreatment and antimicrobial resistance.
Streamlined Sample Collection
Requires just one nasopharyngeal swab, minimizing patient discomfort and staff workload while improving efficiency during seasonal spikes or outbreak investigations.
