COVID-19
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
PEth Testing in Dried Blood Spot
Uncover Patterns of Alcohol Use for Up to One Month
Introducing PEth: the most informative and valued-added test available for alcohol consumption.
PEth (phosphatidylethanol) provides patterns of alcohol use for up to four weeks, not just detection, giving you a full month of past behavior for evaluation.
Breakthrough in Detection Windows:
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.
PEth: A Scientific Overview
Phosphatidylethanol16:0/18:1 (PEth) is a group of phospholipids formed on the surface of an individual’s red blood cells when alcohol is consumed. The primary molecule (16:0/18:1) contains both palmitic acid (16 carbon atoms: no double bonds) and oleic acid (18 carbon: 1 double bond). A secondary molecule (16:0/18:2) reflects the presence of two double bonds on the 18-carbon chain. The total homologues are identified using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS) technology and thus evaluated for past alcohol patterns.
Research has also shown that the highly sensitive nature of PEth is not affected by incidental exposures to alcohol such as mouthwash or sanitizers. National Labs carefully developed and validated specific lower thresholds in our method to avoid false positives and provide the most clinically useful information as possible.
Dried Blood Spot (DBS): Convenient Collection
A quick, painless finger prick provides a dried blood spot (DBS) specimen, which is all that is needed to measure PEth with the highest sensitivity of LCMS instrumentation. A DBS specimen can be collected by any properly trained staff or patient. Upon collection, the DBS is not considered a biohazardous material and is easily transported to National Labs.
Testing with PEth is as easy as 1-2-3
