TESTING SERVICES
RCL HEALTH SERVICES OFFERS A WIDE VARIETY OF SERVICES AND TYPES OF TESTING TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF OUR CLIENTS NATIONWIDE. OUR AIM IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST STAFFING AND TESTING SERVICES TO MATCH DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND SITUATIONS WHERE TESTING IS NEEDED. WE OFFER WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE GOLD STANDARD ON COVID-19 TESTING, THE LAB-BASED RT-PCR TEST AND A VARIETY OF RAPID TESTING OPTIONS INCLUDING BOTH MOLECULAR AND ANTIGEN TESTS. FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THEIR LEVEL OF PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19, RCL HEALTH SERVICES HAS DEVELOPED THE IMMUNOTRAK TEST WHICH IS A QUANTITATIVE TEST THAT MEASURES YOUR LEVEL OF NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD THE COVID-19 INFECTION OR HAVE BEEN VACCINATED AGAINST THE VIRUS.
RT-PCR TESTING
THIS IS A MOLECULAR TEST WHICH DETECTS GENETIC MATERIAL OF THE VIRUS USING A LAB TECHNIQUE CALLED REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (RT-PCR). A SAMPLE IS COLLECTED BY USING A VERY SHORT SWAB (ANTERIOR NARES SWAB). THIS TEST IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A NON-INVASIVE RT-PCR VIA COLLECTION OF A SALIVA SAMPLE (USUALLY ABOUT 2MLS). RESULTS TAKE BETWEEN 4-24 HOURS TO PROCESS BUT ARE THE MOST ACCURATE AND SENSITIVE TO THE VIRUS.
RAPID MOLECULAR ABBOTT ID NOW TESTING
AN AUTOMATED MOLECULAR POINT-OF-CARE TEST THAT UTILIZES ISOTHERMAL NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR THE QUALITATIVE DETECTION OF SARS-COV-2 VIRAL NUCLEIC ACIDS. THIS TEST RECEIVED EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) FROM THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) AND IT IS AN FDA APPROVED CLIA-WAIVED INSTRUMENT FOR COVID-19 TESTING. ANTERIOR NARES SWAB SAMPLES ARE ANALYZED AND THE INSTRUMENT CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF RESULTS WITHIN 15 MINUTES OR LESS (POSITIVE SAMPLES USUALLY PRODUCE FASTER RESULTS).
RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING
ANTIGEN TESTS ARE IMMUNOASSAYS THAT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF SPECIFIC VIRAL ANTIGENS, WHICH INDICATES CURRENT VIRAL INFECTION. ANTIGENS MAY TAKE 3-5 DAYS AFTER INITIAL INFECTION TO DETECT. ANTIGEN TESTS PRODUCE RESULTS QUICKLY (WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES), AND MOST CAN BE USED AT THE POINT OF CARE WITH ANTERIOR OR MID NARES NASAL SAMPLES. ANTIGEN TESTS ARE GENERALLY LESS SENSITIVE THAN REAL-TIME REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (RT-PCR) AND OTHER NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION TESTS (NAATS), WHICH DETECT AND AMPLIFY THE PRESENCE OF VIRAL NUCLEIC ACID. HOWEVER, NAATS MAY REMAIN POSITIVE FOR WEEKS TO MONTHS AFTER INITIAL INFECTION AND CAN DETECT LEVELS OF VIRAL NUCLEIC ACID EVEN WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL IS NO LONGER CONTAGIOUS.
