Corona Diagnostics at CeGaT
It is essential to obtain clarity about whether one was or is infected with COVID-19 to lead an everyday life – even during the pandemic. CeGaT’s Corona Diagnostics offers three fast, high-quality tests that can detect active and past infections with SARS-CoV-2.
Coronavirus testing is performed without prior appointment at the CeGaT GmbH Corona testing sites. The opening hours at the Test Center Festplatz (Fairground) are Mon. – Fri. 13:00 – 17:00 and Sat. 9:00 – 13:00.
Information on the opening hours of our rapid testing sites can be found here.
Coronavirus Test
Testing for active infection with SARS-CoV-2 by detection of viral RNA
The test determines whether a person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of testing. A nasopharynx swab is required to take a sample. A negative result excludes an active coronavirus infection with a high probability. The medical report is available the next day.
This test addresses persons who need evidence of their current infection status (e.g. for travel).
Express PCR Test
PCR equivalent Coronavirus Test for reliable results within 15 minutes only
CeGaT offers PoC-NAT tests at the testing site in Tübingen, Germany, without pre-registration.
Like the classic PCR test, the PoC-NAT test is based on the nucleic acid amplification technique and is recognized as equivalent by most health authorities and airlines. Thus, the Express PCR test is ideal for confirming positive rapid tests and is the best choice in case you need a reliable result on short notice.
Corona Rapid Antigen Test
Testing for acute infection with SARS-CoV-2 by antigen detection
The antigen test determines whether a person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of testing. The minimally invasive nasopharynx swab is performed by our on-site healthcare professionals. The result of the antigen test is available after only 15 minutes.
This test is designed for individuals who want to check their infection status quickly and reliably.
Coronavirus Tests for Groups
Mobile PCR tests and PCR pooling for groups, companies, and schools
Our mobile testing team will come to you and perform the swabs for the PCR tests on site. Results are available the following day and can be conveniently accessed online. In addition, we will assist you in planning and creating your individual hygiene concept.
Furthermore, CeGaT offers PCR pool testing using so-called “lollipop tests.” Pool testing enables cost-effective and reliable PCR test results for groups. Pool results are available the same day and will be sent directly to you.
