    About the package

    Inside the Cold & Flu Advanced

    The Cold & Flu Advanced panel widens the Essential screen to 18 respiratory viruses, adding the four seasonal coronaviruses, human rhinovirus, enterovirus, bocavirus and metapneumovirus — common causes of coughs, colds and wheeze that a basic flu test misses.

    Using a single nasal swab and real-time PCR, it pinpoints the exact virus so care can be targeted and needless antibiotics avoided. Every virus is reported individually, with home collection available across Dubai.

    It was a good experience. I got my results within time. Ms. Neesha is very good in taking the samples. She took my samples in one prick as I have very difficult veins. Thank you so much.

    I had my full OGTT done at Intel Lab and had a great experience. The employees were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the process. They explained each step clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. They also took my blood sample very carefully, especially since I’m afraid of needles, which I truly appreciated. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!
