Fit to fly PCR at manchester airport

Hi

Looking at these, Randox and Collinson seem to be the providers for either drive through or walk through.
Does anyone have any experience of either?
There are so many options it�s mind blowing

I used randox at East Midlands for dd14, very efficient, the service said 24hrs but I had the results in less than 8.

I thought you could get a lateral flow test, unless Iv got the terms mixed up ! Is that not correct ?

Depends on the rules for the country your trying to enter, we could have used a lat flow for Greece but this had to be 48 hours pre landing at destination, pcr allows 72 hours and that fitted with my work schedule to take dd for the test.

What types of SARS-CoV-2 test are acceptable under the Order?
Passengers must be tested with a viral test that could be either an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). Examples of available NAATs for SARS-CoV-2 include but are not restricted to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR), and helicase-dependent amplification (HDA). The test used must be authorized for use by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the country where the test is administered. A viral test conducted for U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) personnel, including DOD contractors, dependents, and other U.S. government employees, and tested by a DOD laboratory located in a foreign country also meets the requirements of the Order.

Are any of these lateral flow? This is fro CDC website

I did the drive through Randox a couple of months ago. Easy to book, test straightforward and they give you a card to register. Results arrived about an hour later
