Following receipt of your sample, we will make every reasonable endeavour to provide your test results within a reasonable timeframe following our laboratory receiving your sample. Delivery dates for test results are approximate and Randox will not be held liable for any delay in delivery, particularly in light of global shortages in raw materials and the unprecedented level of demand for our services in the current challenging circumstance, as well as subject to further terms in this agreement. It is important to note that we are dealing with sensitive biological samples, which in rare circumstances may require secondary testing. Randox will not release a result until a thorough review has been carried out and we are satisfied with the deliverable result. This is in line with good laboratory practice.

If you have received a positive result, please follow the government guidelines, and seek advice from the NHS. After a positive result, please do not visit any of our onsite locations as they will not be able to provide customer support on this. We recommend calling the Covid-19 help line 119.

There are various reasons that can lead to a sample being reported as unclear. Whilst it is uncommon, it can happen. Examples of an unclear result can include but are not limited to; contamination of food or drink consumed (normally within 30 minutes of test), temperature control, not enough human specimen, or a leak in transit.

If an unclear result is received, please immediately return to the test centre you had your original appointment in for a secondary test within the open hours of the testing centre.

We always recommend that you book your test as early as possible, but within your destination country’s stipulated accepted ‘test result to destination arrival’ timeframe to allow for these exceptions. We are not responsible for any direct, indirect, or consequential loss incurred as a result of an inconclusive test result.

Please ensure that your sample URN has been registered first. The sample must be registered with the Unique Reference Number (URN) that you are provided with at your appointment. This allows the laboratory to link the sample to you. If it is not registered, we cannot provide you with results.
For more information on the registration process refer to question “How do I view my result” first.

If you have successfully registered and if you haven’t received your results by the end of the expected turnaround time for the test you have taken, please contact our dedicated customer support team with your URN number by emailing: fly@randox.com.

The time to results will vary depending on the test you are taking it is important you have taken note of the TAT from our website or in this section under ‘How long does it take to get my results?’ before you book your test to ensure the TAT provides enough time for you to board your flight.
