(RIC)
Price
- $70.00 (When Federal CARES funding ends)
Sample Type
-
Nasopharyngeal & Oropharyngeal (MDL collection kit required)
Test Method and Description
- This test must be collected by a healthcare professional trained in swab collection.
- The MDL RIC assay is a lab developed test that utilizes a full nucleic acid extraction followed by RT-PCR.
- The RT-PCR test looks for three viruses from the one sample: RSV, Influenza (A and B not differentiated), and COVID-19.
- While the test only looks for three viruses, it looks for multiple portions of each virus to increase sensitivity.
- The overall test specificity is 100% and the test sensitivity is >97%.

SalivaDirect™ COVID-19 PCR
(COVSAL)
Price:
- $70.00 (When Federal CARES funding ends)
Sample Type
-
Saliva (MDL collection kit required)
Test Method and Description
- Trained collectors must witness saliva collection in a sterile tube.
- This FDA EUA assay is an extraction-free RT-PCR test.
- It targets a single region of the SARS-CoV-2 genome and also looks for a human enzyme in the sample to ensure proper sample collection.
- The overall test specificity is 100% and the test sensitivity is 94.6%.
