Receiving results
Depending on the service results are either sent via Email (COVID-19 PCR Results) or SMS (Antibody Results, HPV Results). Results timelines vary based on the service bought. Please see the relevant webpage for details.
If you have not received a PCR result, there are 3 scenarios we commonly see that lead to 'missing' results:
The barcode has not been registered on the laboratory website - if your barcode begins with an M or an R, then register here (https://randoxhealth.com/register-kit) if it begins with a number register here (http://portal.salient.bio/). This is the most common issue we see.
The results have been filtered into your junk
There was a typo made when registering your email on the laboratory website
You can also contact the labs directly either via covid19@randoxhealth.com (barcodes beginning with M or R), or results@salient.bio (barcodes beginning with numbers).
COVID-19 Service Outline & Timelines
PCR (48 Hours): test results typically returned 48 hours from 3PM on the day of sampling
PCR (Next Day): test results typically returned next day before midnight
PCR (Same Day): test results are typically published that evening before midnight. Please note that same day tests are only available in appointments before 3PM. Results are sent to the patient via email.
Rapid Antigen: The Rapid Antigen (Abbott-Panbio) result certificate can be collected within 1 hour of your submission. Please ensure in advance your appointment, if travelling, that Rapid Antigen testing is accepted by your travel destination.
N.B. Occasionally issues outside of our control (e.g., courier delays, lab processing issues, laboratory supply chain issues) may mean that your sample takes longer to return than the target timeline. Because of this we are not able to guarantee a result within a set timeframe. The practice is not liable for any other associated costs should your results be delayed. For travel testing, we recommend planning your testing to ensure you have your results "in-hand" at least 24 hours prior to departure. By submitting your sample you accept this.
For further queries please see our FAQs page.
