Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test
This test is used to rapidly detect an active COVID-19 infection in a patient.
Results are generally reported within 30 minutes at most locations.
Covid Clinic utilizes multiple antigen tests in order to make antigen testing more accessible. The antigen test administered to the patient will be one of the following three tests, but Covid Clinic is unable to guarantee which of the tests will be utilized for a specific patient.
Quidel Corporation Sofia SARS Antigen FIA Test
Access Bio, Inc. CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Test
Luminostics, Inc. Clip COVID Rapid Antigen Test
Test Information
All of Covid Clinic’s antigen test offerings utilize tests that have received emergency use authorization from the FDA.
For Quidel’s Sofia SARS Antigen FIA Test and Luminostics Clip COVID Rapid Antigen Test, the specimen is collected by a lower nasal swab (anterior nares). The cotton swab does not need to be inserted far into the nose, and is rotated in a circle around the entire inside edge of each nostril at least three times. Results are generally available within 30 minutes and delivered to the patient via email (with the individual’s consent).
For Access Bio’s CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Test, the specimen is collected by a lower nasal swab (anterior nares). Results are generally available within 30 minutes and delivered to the patient via email (with the individual’s consent).
COVID-19 Antigen + Flu Combo Test
Three tests in one! This test is recommended for all individuals and especially those with symptoms.
Used to rapidly detect COVID-19, Influenza A, and Influenza B
Results are generally reported within 30 minutes
Test Information
Covid Clinic is offering the Quidel Corporation Sofia 2 FLU + SARS Antigen FIA Test. This test has received an emergency use authorization from the FDA.
The specimen is collected by a nasal swab. The cotton swab does not need to be inserted far into the nose, and is rotated in a circle around the entire inside edge of each nostril at least three times.

Rapid COVID-19 Molecular NAAT Test
This test is used to rapidly detect an active COVID-19 infection in a patient.
Results are generally reported within 1 hour
Abbott ID Now COVID-19 Assay
Test Information
Covid Clinic, Inc. is offering the Abbott ID Now COVID-19 Assay performed on the ID NOW Instrument. This test is a rapid molecular in vitro diagnostic test utilizing an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in direct nasal swabs. The ID Now COVID-19 Assay has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA.
Many travel restrictions require a molecular or NAAT test be conducted prior to arrival. Abbott’s ID Now COVID-19 test may satisfy these requirements; however, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify the test will be accepted for travel prior to purchase.
Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test
Results are generally reported within one hour
Satisfies most travel restriction requirements
Collected by anterior nares nasal swab (front of the nose only)
Test Information
The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19Â Test is a molecular, in vitro diagnostic test utilizing end point reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and lateral flow technologies for the qualitative, visual detection of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. The four steps utilized to perform the test are lysis of the virus, reverse transcription of viral RNA to cDNA, nucleic acid amplification, and detection.
The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test has been released under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection), and can be used in applications that require molecular/ RT-PCR testing. Please consult your state health department for additional information regarding specific uses (such as pre and post travel requirements). Many travel restrictions require a RT-PCR, molecular, or NAAT test be conducted prior to arrival at the destination. The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 test satisfies most travel requirements; however, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify the test will be accepted for travel prior to purchase.
Expedited RT-PCR COVID-19 Test
Result generally delivered in 1-2 days by 11:59PM Pacific excluding Sundays
