A 10-target real-time PCR panel for the core cold and flu viruses — influenza A and B strains, RSV, parainfluenza and adenovirus — from a single nasal swab.
The Cold & Flu Essential panel uses real-time PCR to detect the ten viruses most often behind seasonal respiratory illness — the influenza A and B strains, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza and adenovirus. A single nasal swab identifies the exact virus with high accuracy, often before symptoms peak.
Knowing precisely which virus you have helps guide treatment, avoid unnecessary antibiotics, and decide when to rest or isolate. Results are reported per virus, with home collection available across Dubai.

The process was quick, clean, and well organized. I received my results on time without any hassle. I highly recommend Intel Lab for reliable medical services.
Adil AfridiI 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!
