In our test center it is currently sufficient to show up punctually at the time you have booked. Due to the currently balanced capacity utilization, a lead time is not necessary. If you have not booked an appointment, you can also come to us on a whim
We offer the EU certificate for the rapid antigen test and the free citizen test. If you agree to the personalized transmission to the Corona Warn App (CWA) when booking your test, you will receive a QR code for the CWA app with the test result. When you transfer the test result to the CWA app, you will receive the EU certificate.
Yes, the PCR test is ideal for travelers. Our PCR certificates are delivered in two languages (German / English). Furthermore, your passport number/ID will be visible on your PCR certificate.
we offer two corona test procedures: PCR test and antigen test
The PCR test is a standard procedure in the diagnosis of viruses. The test is based on the so-called polymerase chain reaction. The genetic material of the virus is duplicated. This makes it possible to detect viruses even if only a few pathogens are present.
The rapid tests for SARS-CoV-2 detect certain proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract in the event of an infection. Rapid antigen tests can detect the different virus variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus just as well. The rapid antigen test is less sensitive than a PCR test. This means that a larger amount of virus is needed to display the result. If, for example, only a few viruses are present shortly after infection, the rapid antigen test can still be negative even though the person tested is infected.
All of our tests are always listed by the BfArM and are therefore approved for use in Germany.
Our current test has a sensitivity of 97.1 % and a specificity of 99.5 %. It therefore meets the legal requirements and can detect or rule out SARS-CoV-2 with a very high degree of probability.
If your test result is positive, you must go into quarantine at home immediately. Since it is a notifiable disease according to the Infection Protection Act, you must report it immediately to the health department. They will coordinate the further procedure with you and tackle the tracing of your contact persons. By preparing a list of your contacts, you can help make this process easier and faster. In addition, the result of your positive antigen rapid test must be checked using a PCR test. If the test result is positive, you will also receive further information from us after your test.
