The gold standard in Covid-19 PCR saliva tests
Travel, work and play safely with our non-invasive and accurate Covid-19 PCR tests
What we do
Our services include accredited travel certification for international passengers, workplace testing for businesses, and non-invasive, family friendly testing for the general public.

Family Friendly
Our Covid-19 saliva-based test is non-invasive (no swabs) and suitable for young children.

High Accuracy
Our saliva test is accurate as nasal tests. Our tests pick up early infection before symptoms persist.

Fast turnaround time
Test results and PCR Travel Certificates are available same day (by midnight). Urgent six-hour tests are available at our Auckland CBD, Auckland Airport and Christchurch Airport precinct sites.

24 hour customer service
Our free 24-hour customer service line is available for our traveling or non-travelling clients.

Verified Science
Processed through IGENZ, our test is IANZ accredited and the only diagnostically validated COVID-19 saliva test in New Zealand.

Rapid Antigen Tests
Our test is not a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT). Rako Science does not supply RATs.
RATs are prone to false test results and unsuitable for surveillance testing. Learn more

Internationally recognised
Our PCR Travel Certificates and QR codes are successfully used at airline check-in and airport arrivals for international travellers to Asia, Europe, the USA, and Australia.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT OUR COVID-19 TESTING SERVICES
Through Rako Science, we had all our pre-departure saliva-based COVID-19 testing for both the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta and the Tokyo Olympic Games completed locally, in a collection site opened with our team in mind.
