Why Choose the MicroGenDX COVID-19 Test?
Comprehensive Detection: Our COVID-19 test uses highly accurate Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technology, the gold standard for COVID detection. This ensures a very low chance of false negatives. qPCR’s main advantage is in detecting the virus’s genetic material, rather than looking for detectable signs of an immune system response. This high sensitivity level means a COVID infection can be identified while in its early stages or even if the infection is asymptomatic.
Compared to traditional methods, qPCR offers superior accuracy, delivering reliable results so you can get a clear picture of your status.
Rapid and Reliable Results: Receive your results within 24-48 hours, enabling you and your provider to swiftly make decisions about your health. Our lab strives to balance accuracy and speed to ensure your results are as reliable as possible, giving you the confidence to move forward.

FAQ
Yes, this COVID-19 test can meet the travel requirements of many locales. However, it is important to reference the specific guidelines from your airlines, layovers, and destinations, as the requirements from each may vary. Our test’s rapid turnaround time and use of rt-qPCR makes it a convenient and acceptable choice for travel.
Yes, our test is authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). For the latest updates on the EUA, see the official FDA site here.
The MicroGenDX COVID-19 test uses qPCR technology, which is more sensitive and accurate than standard antigen testing. While antigen tests provide quick results, they are less reliable as they need the body to produce detectable levels of immune response to the virus. Such immune activity levels can be low if the virus is in its early stages or if an individual is asymptomatic. In contrast, our qPCR test identifies the virus’s genetic material, which increases the precision and reliability of its results compared to those from antigen tests. It also reduces the chance of false negatives.
If your test results are positive, it is important to isolate when you are able, follow public health guidelines, and consult your healthcare provider. They can help you understand your results and recommend next steps.
This COVID-19 test is meant to uncover the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants up to and before Omicron (XBB) (e.g., Delta, Omicron).
Yes, you can use the test kit regardless of your vaccination status. Vaccinated persons can still contract and spread COVID-19, so testing remains important if you exhibit symptoms or believe you have been exposed to someone with the virus.
Yes, this COVID-19 test is suitable for children. The non-invasive saliva collection method is easy and comfortable for kids compared to the discomfort of the nasal swab method, making it the preferred option for families needing to test their children.
