What is a PCR Test?~Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular technique that allows a small amount of DNA to be amplified exponentially from a urine sample supplied from our easy to use home kits. The test is then posted back to us in the prepaid envelope and we start to test in our CPA approved laboratory

This is completed in 3 basic parts:

1) Extraction of the DNA from the sample,

2) Addition of sample DNA, one set of DNA nucleotide primers and other reagents to a PCR-cycler machine for amplification of target DNA and,

3) Detection of target DNA by gel-electrophoresis.

The test results are then automatically presented on screen when you log in using your unique codes. Only you have access to the results and Veolabs keeps no records of your test after 14 days.~~~761~762~~
