Over-the-counter home pregnancy test kits may give you inaccurate results. Thankfully, this qualitative pregnancy blood test is more accurate and can detect pregnancy earlier than home pregnancy test kits – about 6-8 days after ovulation. The laboratory simply texts you when your results are in. The best part? You don’t have to sacrifice the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Have you been feeling “off” lately? it could be a variety of different things. From metabolic changes to simply feeling drained, a vitamin deficiency may be the cause. Starting a new diet (i.e. vegetarians, vegans) may also alter your vitamin levels. Getting this vitamin panel blood test helps your doctor see if you’re low on any crucial vitamins that can be causing your ailments.
Are you experiencing a fever, chills, muscle aches, coughing, or congestion? You may feel like you just have the common cold, but it could be the flu or Covid-19. Knowing whether you have the flu or Covid-19 reduces unnecessary treatments for other ailments. Your doctor can use the results from this non-invasive test (known as a respiratory viral panel) to determine whether you have the flu or Covid-19, and treat you more effectively to help you get better quickly.
This hemoglobin A1c blood test tells you your average blood sugar level over the past 120 days. Checking your A1c level is important in helping your doctor determine your chances of developing complications related to diabetes, or determine if you have diabetes. Your doctor can also use this A1c test to make better nutrition and exercise recommendations for you. Fasting is required for this test for accurate results.
The COVID-19 RT-PCR buccal swab test is a less invasive test for COVID-19 and is performed by simply collecting a sample from the inside of your cheek using a swab. Similar to the other test options, the buccal swab has been granted EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) from the FDA and can be performed easily by our healthcare professionals from the comfort of your home or place of business for added convenience, and helps avoid potentially spreading COVID-19 to others.
Antibody testing is different from either of the PCR tests we offer. For one, instead of checking for an existing COVID-19 infection, the antibody test — which requires a blood sample — can detect the presence of specific antibodies in the blood. If positive, this is a clear indication that someone has had COVID-19 and has since recovered.
The antibody test has been granted EUA by the FDA, and can help individuals and business owners mitigate safety concerns by identifying those who may have had COVID-19 already and might currently have immunity to the virus.
The PCR nasal swab has been regarded by the CDC as the current gold-standard for COVID-19 testing. All PCR tests can detect the presence of viral RNA, allowing you to detect COVID-19 early on, sometimes even before symptoms begin to develop. The PCR nasal swab is generally
the accepted method of testing for traveling, or returning to school or work.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, health care experts have been searching for alternatives to nasal swab tests in order to provide a less intrusive and more convenient way to test for an active COVID-19 infection.
Our saliva PCR tests (as the name suggests) require only a saliva sample. This test has been granted EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) from the FDA and can be done from home or your place of business for added convenience and to avoid potentially spreading COVID-19 to others.
Get your results in 15 minutes! Simple and efficient, the rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test zeroes in on certain antigens directly associated with COVID-19.
