COVID Bubble Test™ FAQs

How it works

Q. How does the COVID Bubble Test™ work?
A. Thanks to breakthrough in coronavirus testing, enabling the ‘pooling’ of a number of individual phlegm samples on the same cartridge, we can now test up to 4 people, on-the-spot, at the same time.

Q. Is the COVID Bubble Test™ a PCR test?
A. Yes, our COVID Bubble Test™ is an RT-PCR test.

Q. What does PCR mean?
A. PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction;

Q. What does RT-PCR mean?
A. RT- PCR stands for Reverse Transcriptase – Polymerase Chain Reaction it has an additional step called “reverse transcriptase”. In an RT step, an enzyme converts a virus’s – in this case, coronavirus – genetic material (RNA) into complementary DNA (cDNA) which then allows us to analyse and detect that cDNA using a PCR technique.

Q. How many people can be tested at the same time?
A. We can test from 1 to 4 people, who are in a ‘bubble’, at the same time on the same test cartridge, using our ‘pooling’ technique.

Q. Can I have the COVID Bubble Test™ if I have coronavirus symptoms?
A. No. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms please do not book at test with us in store or buy a home test kit from us, stay at home, self isolate and contact the NHS. Thank you.

How we take a sample

Q. Why do we need a phlegm (sputum) sample?
A. Phlegm (sputum) comes from the lungs where there is likely to be more virus than a throat or nasal sample, therefore it is a more accurate way of testing for COVID-19. Sputum is usually thick and sticky, unlike saliva which is watery and thin.

Q. What should you do before your test appointment?
A. We advise that you do not eat for at least 2 hours before your appointment; you can drink fluids but only water. Keeping your mouth clear of food debris is important to give a good sample. Sample collection process:
