Our Antigen Test tells you if you have the COVID-19 now, with results delivered within an hour after swabbing, and same-day certificate.

FAQ's

Rapid Antigen Tests are immunoassays, which test for the presence of the active viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2, which cause COVID-19 disease. They do that by using highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2 in the sample. The collected sample is applied to the cassette which has a solution that unleashes specific viral proteins. The solution is then applied to a strip of paper that contains antibody material that binds proteins of the virus. The results appear after 15 minutes on the cassette, similar to a home pregnancy test.

Each country has a different requirement, so once you order your test our expert travel team will discuss this with you. We encourage you to check with the authorities of your destination country. In most countries, a PCR test is the one required for entry, however, some countries accept the Antigen Test (e.g. Italy and Romania). Others require also a Fit to Fly Medical Certificate (e.g. Thailand) or an Antibody test (e.g. Morocco).

Antigen test (frequently referred to as a rapid test) detects protein fragments specific to the COVID-19. Turnaround time for results is quick, the results will be released within hours.

PCR test detects RNA (or genetic material) that is specific to the virus and can detect the virus within days of infection, even those who have no symptoms. Turnaround time is longer, generally in 24h-48h.

The Antigen Test and the PCR test are done on a combined throat and nose swab which can tell you if you have an active COVID-19 infection currently. They cannot tell you if you were previously infected. If you want to know if you were previously infected with COVID19, you can opt for an antibody test with us.

The sampling kits are CE marked (as per UK requirements), our Laboratories are UKAS/ISO/CQC accredited and our Clinic is fully Care Quality Commission licensed to provide diagnosis with excellent safety and care standards. The analysing equipment ('analysers') which are used to test your sample (Abbott, Siemens and Randox) are all from major recognised diagnostics manufacturers, and only UKAS approved SARS-CoV-2 assays are used in our Laboratories.

Your results will be communicated within 15-30 minutes after your appointment. As for your Test Certificate / Travel Test Certificate will be issued within hours after your appoinmtment.

Yes, we create bespoke corporate packages and provide you with the correct clinical advice on what/when/how to test for your employees needing to travel, and how to make it a really easy process not just for testing (with priority corporate account) but also for invoicing, billing and medical advice.

If you receive a positive result, we will discuss your next steps with you on the phone. If necessary, we are able to arrange a same-day video consultation with one of our GPs for your peace of mind, so you can discuss next steps. It might still be possible to fly or to move your date, depending on destination procedures.

Of course! If you are an NHS worker and needs to be tested by us, you will benefit from a £40 voucher and will not be charged the collection fee. Please note that to attend in Clinic you must not be symptomatic or a frontline worker.

  • No walk-ins, no waiting times, minimum time in Clinic
  • All staff triaged daily and tested weekly

TESTIMONIALS

Impeccable service throughout the whole process! Many others in the market providing the PCR test are just disgraceful and find a way to make money quick. In this case, it was professional, clean, honest and super transparent. I’ll use them for many other services as I felt I was treated super respectfully and I can say they are trustworthy. Thank you for looking after me so well. My PCR test went smoothly and not carnage like many others. Results came back in 24hours! Highly recommended!

I could not possibly ask for more…. Such a warm and special thank you to Vlad.

I am so relieved that Chelsea Bridge Clinic responded to my request when I needed a South African approved PCR covid test before flying back to my family in Cape Town. I had enquired after Following links From British Airways website, and yours was the first to response. I was treated with such kindness and understanding in the initial conversation and this quality of clear interaction was evidence throughout my experience. I cannot recommend your services more highly! I was shocked to see the trauma experienced by passengers being turned away at the Airport Gates due to ‘incomplete documentation’ and I silently thanked all the staff at your clinic for the ease with which my documents were received by the many checks along the way! Thank you for making it possible for me to meet those stringent standards. Thank you for treating me with consideration and patience in a time when unusual demands are being made upon all of us.

Honestly just amazing. I looked at so many different places and was really unsure of where to go. My recommendation – read the most recent reviews about the test you are going for. I got my PCR for travel and they knew information that I wasn’t even aware of. The staff is knowledgable, pleasant and quick to respond. I met Iza and communicated with Nicoletta via email – both wonderful!

Excellent and efficient service from Chelsea Bridge Clinic. My sister and I needed urgent COVID tests in order to fly to South Africa for a family emergency. The team ensured a fast and seamless process from booking, testing to receiving the results and ensured we were kept informed along the way. We were tested and received our results within 48 hours over a weekend.

Recently had a Covid-19 test at Chelsea Bridge Clinic for a trip abroad. As we had to get it done over the weekend we were very worried that we wouldn’t get the results in time, but they were absolutely brilliant. They explained the process clearly and we really appreciated their honesty about whether we would get the test back in time and what they would do to make sure we did. They also kept us informed throughout, so we weren’t worried about what was happening. Just the service you need when you’re going through a stressful time. In fact, they were so good, that when a friend failed to get his test back from another clinic, we sent him here!

I enquired about the services at the Chelsea Bridge Clinic as I needed to have a PCR Test completed 48 Hours before travelling.
From my perspective and having contacted a few other advertised clinics online, I must admit that the staff at the Chelsea Bridge Clinic were all professional from being attentive to what my requirements were, setting up a clinic profile account, offering advice regarding the timeframe as to when my results will be available and providing a following-up call notifying me that my results can be accessed through an online portal.
In summary, excellent staff, very client focussed, exceptional service and great location.

This place is an absolute gem, the staff go beyond the call of duty, and that of other places, I called many centres/clinics prior to finding this place, all I got from the other’s were, ” Sorry I we/ can’t help you, or we dont know. My requiremnets were not straight forward because I have a transit flight and required, my test to count from the time of the connecting flight, but no one could help or even understand my needs. The I came across CBC, they showed complete understanding, full helpfullness, honesty and professionalism at its best. I would highly recommend this clinic. Staff very welcoming and courtious from start to finish. ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ If I could give it 10 stars I certainly would

My experience with Chelsea Bridge Clinic was very pleasing. I required a PCR test within 48 hours of flying, something few clinic were offering due to the backlog in most laboratories at this time. The lady I spoke to on the phone was very informative regarding the process, the potential pitfalls, and the chances of getting the test back on time, a level honesty that I very much appreciated. In the end they came through with plenty of time to spare. Great service, nice people and I would certainly recommend

Amazing clinic and service! I did my antibody test for COVID-19 because I believed I had it in the past month. I ordered one of the tests online on their webpage. I got a call from CBC within an hour to confirm my details and date of the appointment and went through the process of taking the blood sample. On the day of the test I came to their clinic and they were very careful with their safety rules. The doctor was very nice as well and drew blood painlessly. Very happy!
