Pcr test near camposol - Page 4

Brilliant 20€ it's good the prices are coming down both in the UK & Spain, guess if they want people to travel when we are allowed by the various Governments these tests have to be reasonable price.

Phil.

That sounds unbelievably cheap.

Thought UK insisted on a PCR test but....this does sound rather cheap? I have some time  to look into it before I require it....in February, also the UK might decide they will accept other tests just as Spain did?.. I paid £79.00 at Stansted on 1st January 2021.....for a LAMP test results in 90mins. 

just off Uk goverment web site this is what thay accept 

Test providers and type of test

You will need to find a test provider. You must make sure that the test provider can meet the standards for pre-departure testing.

The test must:

• meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml
• this could include tests such as:
  • a nucleic acid test, including a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or derivative technologies, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) tests
  • an antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device

It is your responsibility to ensure the test meets the minimum standards for sensitivity, specificity and viral load details so you must check with your test provider that it meets those standards.

You may not be able to travel if the test does not meet these standards. It is your responsibility to ensure you get the right test that meets the above requirements.

Where information about providers of tests is available locally, FCDO travel advice pages will be updated with this information. If you need consular assistance should contact the nearest consulate, embassy or high commission.

If you take your test in the UK, ahead of a return journey of less than 3 days, you must use a private test provider. You cannot use an NHS Test and Trace test.

All 3 test are ok for return to UK 

The test must:

• meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml
• this could include tests such as:
  • a nucleic acid test, including a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or derivative technologies, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) tests
  • an antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device

I have emailed them to ask the question that they they meet

The test must:

• meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml

Thank you so much.

For the antigen test 

The test has a sensitivity of 93.3% (100% in the first 3 days after exposure to the virus, and 89.7% between days 4-7), and a specificity of 99.4%.

El test cuenta con una sensibilidad del 93,3% (100% en los 3 primeros días tras la exposición al virus, y 89,7% entre los días 4-7), y especificidad del 99,4%.

The question i asked was

I'm looking at your antigen test The UK government requirement Can you confirm that you meet the standards for pre-departure testing? The test must: Meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity to viral loads greater than 100,000 copies / ml this could include tests like: an antigen test, such as a lateral flow device test

Just got into Uk with a €60 euro tma negative test just landed from Alicante to Gatwick no problem straight through as long as you have locator form and negative test simple as Orlov says

Brilliant  

Where did you get the €60 tma test please?
