YOUR HEALTH. A MORE INFORMED VIEW.
A nasal-swab molecular panel covering the ten listed panel-A viral targets.
CLINICAL AUTHORDr Nirupama SabhapathySpecialist Clinical Pathology
Collected around you.THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.
Respiratory symptoms overlap, so the panel looks for specific genetic targets rather than guessing from symptoms alone. The time since symptoms began, sample quality and clinical situation influence interpretation. A detected target should be discussed in context; a negative panel does not rule out every respiratory illness.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. Only listed targets are covered. These panels do not automatically include SARS-CoV-2 unless it is named in the included list.
Respiratory symptoms overlap, so the panel looks for specific genetic targets rather than guessing from symptoms alone. The time since symptoms began, sample quality and clinical situation influence interpretation. A detected target should be discussed in context; a negative panel does not rule out every respiratory illness.
Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. Only listed targets are covered. These panels do not automatically include SARS-CoV-2 unless it is named in the included list.
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.
MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.
Preparation follows the actual specimen and tests in Cold & Flu Essential. Confirm your personal instructions before collection.
A personal checklist. Your care team confirms the instructions.
YOUR COLLECTION. YOUR CHOICE.
Both routes lead to the same defined package. Choose the location during checkout; this package waives the collection fee for its visit.
YOUR PLACE. THE SAME LABORATORY PATHWAY.
Discuss collection at your home, hotel or workplace in Dubai. The care team confirms the appropriate specimen, preparation and collection arrangements for this package.

FROM BOOKING TO UNDERSTANDING.
Follow Cold & Flu Essential from your care bag to an informed conversation.
The right package. The right person.
Add Cold & Flu Essential to your care bag. Book for yourself or assign the package to someone else. The care team can help match the selection to a request or prescription.
Preparation follows the test.
Confirm the instructions for nasal swab and the appropriate collection arrangements. Correct identification, specimen choice and timing support a useful result.
Laboratory work, behind the finding.
Intel Lab processes the sample and checks the report. The package lists 48 hours; collection timing and any additional laboratory checks may affect release.
A finding, placed in your context.
Read the report with the reason for testing. A clinician can explain unexpected findings, relevant limitations and whether any further assessment is appropriate.
MORE THAN A LIST OF NUMBERS.
Your report brings the measurements together. Explore the findings below to see which questions make the report more meaningful.

THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
Review detected or undetected targets with the clinical team and the timing of illness. The result informs a defined question; it does not by itself decide treatment or explain every respiratory symptom.
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.
THE LABORATORY BEHIND YOUR RESULTS.
Intelligent Care brings the collection to you. Intel Lab brings the laboratory pathway, from sample handling to reporting.
Accurate patient details, the correct specimen and clear collection instructions are the first part of a reliable laboratory pathway. Follow the collection team’s instructions for the specimens required by this panel.
The laboratory’s analytical work and quality processes support the measurements in the report. Explore the laboratory’s published quality standards and accreditation scope for the detail behind its services.
Reporting connects the laboratory findings with their clinical use. Unexpected or significant results may need additional checks or communication with the referring clinician.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
A nasal-swab molecular panel covering the ten listed panel-A viral targets. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
SARS-CoV-2 is not named in this package’s target list. COVID-19 PCR is a separate catalogue item; do not assume other coronavirus entries mean COVID-19 coverage.
No. It assesses the listed targets in the submitted specimen, not every infectious or non-infectious cause.
Not necessarily. Timing, recent infection and the clinical context matter when interpreting genetic-material detection.
No. A clinician assesses whether the detected finding is relevant and what treatment, if any, is appropriate.
The catalogue specifies a nasal swab. Follow the collector’s instructions and confirm any test-specific requirements.
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
The package price is AED 299; the listed turnaround is 48 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
