What’s Tested
Nail Fungus test is a quick and very accurate way to find out if a nail infection is caused by fungus. Instead of waiting weeks for older tests, a small piece of your nail is checked for fungus DNA, and you can get clear results in just a day or two. This means you and your doctor can find out quickly what’s causing the problem and start the right treatment faster.

Our Nail Fungus test is a quick and simple way to find out if you have a nail infection—and what type it is. A small sample from your nail is tested in the lab using special technology to look for the DNA of fungi and bacteria. You’ll get fast results (usually within 1–2 days), so your doctor can pick the right treatment without the long wait of older tests. This process is painless and much more accurate than traditional methods, helping you get the care you need sooner.
