Accurate testing results within a timely manner to support a safe workplace and community
Ensuring the health and safety of your patients, employees and community at large requires a complete and robust solution for fast COVID-19 screening.
To aid in the effort to combat the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, National Labs offers a full-service package that includes both front-end specimen collection as well as back-end testing support, all by a state-of-the-art lab using the most current technology and methods.
Partnering with counties, public health departments, hospitals, clinics, businesses, schools, and long term care facilities, we use the RT-PCR testing method under EUA (emergency use authorization) based on anterior nares, nasopharyngeal and saliva specimen types. We also look at 3 genetic markers, instead of just 2, which can capture known COVID variants while eliminating concern over false negatives.
National Labs COVID-19 testing services feature:
-
Average TAT of <24 hours post specimen receipt
-
Full service, onsite facility testing and specimen collection
-
RT-PCR testing methodology
-
EUA (emergency use authorization) testing validation
-
Anterior nares, nasopharyngeal and saliva specimen types
-
Automated specimen processing
-
Acceptance of all insurance providers with no cost to patients
-
Competitive contract pricing
-
Results reporting via electronic web portal with customized results summary and EMR integration available
Revolutionizing testing, one drop at a time.
SpotCheck Plus makes behavioral health and alcohol testing easier than ever.
Just one dried blood spot gives providers the data they need to monitor long-term alcohol consumption over the past 30 days, ensure core medication compliance and identify use of 66 substances. Detect early warning signs to take swift, preventive action. It’s the ultimate tool for improving patient outcomes and saving lives.
A quick and painless finger prick provides a dried blood spot specimen sufficient for measuring PEth with the highest sensitivity available from LCMS instrumentation. Any trained staff member or patient can collect this specimen; it is not considered biohazardous and can be easily transported to our laboratory.

A breakthrough in detection windows
​
SpotCheck Plus provides patterns of alcohol use for up to four weeks—not just detection, giving you an entire month of past behavior for evaluation.
​
While PEth levels will start to rise after a single drinking episode, it is the accumulation of PEth that helps define past drinking behaviors. The PEth LCMS result falls into one of four general ranges for clinical consideration and interpretation.
Scientific Overview (Behind the Science)
(Scientific Background)
Phosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1 (PEth) is a group of phospholipids that forms on the surface of an individual’s red blood cells following alcohol consumption. The primary molecule (16:0/18:1) contains both palmitic acid (16 carbon atoms: no double bonds) and oleic acid (18 carbons: 1 double bond). A secondary molecule (16:0/18:2) signifies the presence of two double bonds on the 18-carbon chain. The total homologs are identified through liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS) technology, which allows for evaluating past alcohol consumption patterns.
Research shows that PEth's highly sensitive nature remains unaffected by incidental alcohol exposures, such as those from mouthwash or sanitizers. National Labs has carefully developed and validated specific lower thresholds in our method to minimize false positives and provide the most clinically useful information possible.
