Viral RT-PCR testing is performed to determine if you are actively infected with COVID-19.
For Viral RT-PCR test sample collection, a small swab is inserted into either the nostril (nasopharyngeal), mouth (oropharyngeal), or using your saliva.
Rapid Antigen testing is commonly used for the detection SARS-COV 2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection. RAT is suitable for point-of-care testing that directly detects the presence or absence of the COVID-19 antigen. RAT is a lateral flow test that detects the COVID-19 protein antigen. RAT is an immunochromatographic assay that gives visual results and is qualitative. It is a screening test and thus should be evaluated with a confirmatory test like PCR. This sample collection methods are nasal swab.
Turnaround for Viral RT-PCR:
Tournaround time for the Viral RT-PCR test is 1-5 days.
Turnaround for Rapid Antigen Test:
The result would be ready in about 15 min.
Respiratory tract infections are classified into the upper respiratory tract infections and lower respiratory tract infections. This occurs when pathogens gain entry to the respiratory tract through inhalation of droplets. Knowing the causative agent of the infection helps healthcare providers determine the most appropriate treatment plan to avoid life-threatening complications, especially for high-risk patients.

Impact Genomic uses molecular techniques to provide comprehensive detection of the most common urinary pathogens.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections. UTIs can be challenging, not only because of the significant number of infections, but also because the diagnosis is not always straightforward. UTIs can also have a similar clinical presentation with other diseases. It can be asymptomatic or present with atypical signs and symptoms, hence it is very important for physicians to distinguish UTIs from other diseases and know the causative agent for the proper diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
Most common signs and symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): UTIs affect several parts of the urinary tract with the bladder being the most common. When left untreated, UTIs can lead to serious complications, including kidney damage. The following are the most common symptoms:
- Pain or burning while urinating
- Frequent urination
- Pressure or cramping in the groin or lower abdomen
- Lower back pain or pain in the side of your back
- Cloudy or strong smelling urine
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella pneumoniae

- Staphylococcus saprophyticus
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- Mycoplasma genitalium
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Neisseria gonorrhea
