What if my test does not specifically say "PCR"?

I just read this entire thread from start to finish and somewhere in here a poster mentioned that EK staff have been trained to look for buzzwords on Covid test printouts like "PCR" and "nasal". The problem, which another poster pointed out, is that not all lab printouts describe tests the same way. For example, I just received a deep nasal swab test described as "Molecular COVID-19". It is not an antibody test, nor is it an antigen test.

I'd love any additional data points folks have on test printouts that are routinely being accepted and/or rejected by Emirates for boarding.

Thanks.
