COMMON QUESTIONS
We send out all our travel certificates via email as a PDF file.
Many countries approve the presentation of the certificate on their mobile phone, but some countries require a hard copy, so we recommend that everyone print the certificate.
A special sampling stick is taken and inserted at the back of the nose to the posterior pharyngeal wall. There, the stick rotates slowly for ten seconds against the mucous membrane. The sample is then sent to our safety laboratory and analyzed. You will receive an answer and can pick up an English travel certificate at our clinic two weekdays later. The certificate is issued, stamped and signed by a licensed physician.

A simple stick in the finger. The blood is dropped into a test cassette and then travels along a membrane where up to three lines can be shown. C - means CONTROL LINE. If it does not appear, the test is invalid and must be repeated. Then there are two more dashes that can appear - one for IgM (acute antibodies) and one for IgG (memory antibodies). See “What are antibodies” under FAQ for interpretation.
If two or more streaks appear, it indicates an ongoing or ongoing infection. The sampler will explain what this means for you.
No, you do not have to.
Our samples are sent to our safety laboratory. It is thus approved by the Swedish Public Health Agency for the diagnosis of COVID-19. The laboratory reports its data every week to the Public Health Agency. All analyzes are qRT-PCR, which means a quantitative analysis.
ANTIGENT TEST
The antigen test we use is from American Abbott and has a very high specificity (> 99.8%) and sensitivity (> 91.4%). A positive antigen test can be confirmed with a PCR test as false positive responses may occur due to cross-reactivity with other viruses.
See information at your country's embassy about how old the certificate may be when you arrive.
Then include 2h buffer after your arrival time, add your travel time.
We recommend that you have at least a 6 hour margin from the time you receive the answer to your certificate until you travel.
Example: The certificate must be 72 hours old. Expect 2h buffer on arrival for passport control, luggage etc - 6h (sample travel time) - 6h buffer before departure. If the response time on the certificate is 36h, you need to test at the earliest 70h before arrival (= 72h minus buffer 2h) and no later than 2 + 6 + 6 + 34 = 48h before arrival.
As a rule, it is no problem to travel with our certificates.
Some countries, including Haiti, French Polynesia and others, require the laboratory to use certain analytical fluids approved by them.
If there is such a requirements specification, you must check that you can travel with our documentation.
The certificates can be printed with a scanned stamp and signed by a doctor.
The certificates also contain a QR code that can be scanned at the airport and you can then verify the certificate information online.
Yes, bring your digital certificate on the phone to any clinic and we can print and stamp it for you.
As a rule, this will be the day after you receive your digital certificate.

The blood is dropped on a test strip of nitrocellulose prepared with colloidal gold-labeled antigen. If antibodies are present, these complexes form Ig and the colloidal gold-labeled antigen and are sucked up into the membrane by capillary force. At each IgM / IgG line, there are nitrocellulose-immobilized anti-human mouse IgM / G antibodies, which bind and form complexes with the antibody / colloidal gold-antigen complex and a red line appears.
The non-captured immune complexes migrate further and bind at the control line.
CE means that the test has been reviewed by a European authority, ensured that it meets standards for sale and free movement within the EU. A CE-certified medical device is under the control of the Medical Products Agency and may be sold freely on the Swedish market.
The PCR test result always comes in the evening - before 11 pm the day after you performed the test, regardless of weekend, big weekend or weekday.
If you have done a PCR Express Test, you will receive it in the evening - before 11 pm on the same day as you performed the test.
If the analysis is delayed, we will notify you no later than 11 pm. In such a case, the answer is extremely rarely delayed by more than 1-2 hours.

a) Serological tests - a test that can detect the presence of antibodies. This test can detect a long-term infection (months - years) and can detect a recent infection (from day 3-5) The sample material consists of serum, plasma or whole blood.
b) Nucleic acid detection - (NAAT) PCR - a type of test where you look for a specific sequence of eg a virus and look for its presence in a sample. This provides a snapshot of whether the virus is present in the patient at this time. Gets negative early in the process and when the virus is no longer present in the body. Cannot distinguish between infectious and inactivated virus. Cannot detect past infection. Taken via tops in nose.
All analyzes for PCR are performed via so-called qRT-PCR, ie quantitative analyzes.
c) Antigen test
A rapid test to detect ongoing infection. Taken via tops in the nose. Responses are received after 15 minutes and are normally sent out within an hour. The strength of the test is to investigate symptomatic people for Covid-19.
