ANY LAB TEST NOW® Wyomissing, the first direct-access lab testing franchise company, announced today the launch of 5 Infectious Disease panels that will help BerksCounty doctors and consumers definitively and accurately diagnose multiple viral and bacterial pathogens in a single test with next day results.
Through its partnership with DIATHERIX Laboratories, these panels are analyzed using the world’s only Multiplex Differential Diagnosis (MDD) Target-Enriched Multiplexing Polymerase Chain Reaction (Tem-PCR) testing service, a clinically-accepted and DNA-based procedure that is more accurate, faster and comprehensive.
Tem-PCR is the first diagnostic tool introduced to the clinical market that can identify multiple pathogens, detect co-infections and determine genetic drug resistance in a single result.
The 5 Infectious Disease Panels available at the ANY LAB TEST NOW® Wyomissing with or without insurance, a doctor’s order or an appointment include:
1. Infectious Disease Panel ($549)
* Tests for 16 of the most common wound-causing pathogens including E. coli, Staph and many more. In addition, this panel can determine any genetic drug-resistances by the pathogen.
2. Gastrointestinal Panel ($399)
* This panel can determine whether or not customers have food poisoning caused by E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, Clostridium difficile or any other serious bacterial infection in the intestines. It also tests for Clostridium difficile toxin B gene; Campylobacter jejuni; Staphylococcus aureus; Vibrio cholerae; and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
3. Respiratory Infection Panel ($549)
* This is the only panel that tests for 26 viral and bacterial pathogens in the same panel including H1N1-09 – the influenza pandemic strain known as the “Swine Flu.” This is the only test authorized by the FDA under the Emergency Use Authorization.
4. Viral Respiratory Panel ($399)
