Antigen Lateral Flow Rapid Test for COVID-19
Rapid Lateral Flow Antigen Covid-19 testing is now available at CM Mediclinic in Chiang Mai with a quick nasopharyngeal swab antigen test costing only 700 baht. The COVID-19 Ag rapid lateral flow test device is an in vitro diagnostic rapid test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen(Ag) with results provided to our patients within a few hours. The antigen nasal swab test is currently being used worldwide by some governments and other organisations to test for COVID-19, although it is generally less sensitive than real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests (RT-PCR) and other NAATS for detecting the presence of viral nucleic acid. If you need a fit-to-fly certificate then please confirm with your airline if an antigen test can be used or whether our Covid-19 PCR Swab Test is required. PLEASE NOTE CM MEDICLINIC WILL BE PROVIDING THE RESULTS BY EMAIL WITH HARD COPY RESULTS AND FIT TO FLY CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE FOR LATER COLLECTION, as we require a quick patient turnaround within our clinic environment and will not allow patients to wait onsite.
