Find Clarity When Flu Symptoms Cloud Your Health
That persistent cough, fever, and body aches – are they just a common cold or something more serious? When influenza strikes, uncertainty can be frightening. Our Influenza Group A & B RNA Detection Test provides the definitive answers you need to take control of your health with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your Influenza Test
This advanced molecular test uses Real-Time PCR technology to detect the genetic material (RNA) of both Influenza A and B viruses in your system. Unlike rapid tests that may miss early infections, our RNA detection method identifies active flu viruses with 99% accuracy, even before symptoms fully develop. The simple, painless swab collection from your nose or throat takes just minutes but provides life-changing clarity about your health status.
