What is it antigen test?
Sample collection is performed through nasopharyngeal swab by qualified healthcare staff. A swab is introduced through the mouth and nasal cavity, an uncomfortable process but it doesn't take more than 30 seconds.
Once the sample is collected, it is analysed in a device that has the result in just 15 minutes. In an hour you will receive an email with the test results, that can be negative, inconclusive or positive.
