High-throughput testing for schools and businesses
All-in-One Solutions
PRL provides integrated COVID-19 testing, variant detection, and pool testing, as a single solution, at-scale. These are 'bundled' for efficiency and convenience.
Proven Leadership
As NYC's official testing partner we've tested nearly 3 million COVID-19 samples to date. We detected NY's first 2 cases of the B.1.351 variant. Bring this expertise and experience to your school or organization.
Built for Scale
PRL utilizes scientific and industry-leading lab automation expertise to process our tests at scale. With pooling we make sure that capacity and turnaround time aren't bottlenecks.
Accessibility
Our services cost up to 50% less than the national average. PRL won't let price be the reason our nation's classrooms and workforces can't access testing.
Solutions for Schools
Early Detection
PRL’s advanced genome sequencing tells schools exactly which variant is present, a critical piece of information in shaping mitigation and response.
Population Testing
Guaranteed pool testing capacity identifies asymptomatic disease and prevents clusters before they take hold, enabling rapid contact tracing and other mitigation steps.
Gold-Standard PCR
When a pooled sample is positive, we use gold standard PCR tests with 5 times greater sensitivity than competing benchmarks and a limit of detection (LoD) of 200 viral copies/mL, so nothing is left to chance.
Strong Partnerships
PRL is partnering with testing coordinators and leading health diagnostic companies to collect and pool samples. Our partners collect the samples and PRL conducts the back-end lab work, providing an end-to-end solution.

“The Pandemic Response Lab gives us a guarantee that tens of thousands of tests can be done every day.”
FAQ
PRL is legally certified to run overflow COVID-19 testing under P4 Clinical’s CLIA certification.
PRL requires a minimum of 300 tests per day.
PRL can support saliva swabs with < 1mL of sample. For samples of > 3mL we only accept nasopharyngeal swab. PRL is also integrated, including both variant sequencing testing and pooling — unlike any other industrial diagnostic facility.
PRL provides testing kits — sample tubes, swabs, and bags — but you can use your own. PRL can provide up to 500,000 kits within two weeks to get started. PRL can also arrange pickups for you at $30 per pickup.
PRL utilizes a proprietary scientific assay that can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in as little as 200 mL of sample while retaining gold standard industry accuracy.
Turnaround time (TAT) for 99% of tests between 6-24 hours.
Turnaround time (TAT) for pooling results < 24 hours.
Turnaround time (TAT) for sequencing between 3-7 days.
PRL can integrate with multiple LIMS systems. Compatibility depends on multiple factors including tube size, storage requirements, solution, reagent kits, and sample state.
PRL has labs in New York City and Washington D.C. and will soon be opening labs in Los Angeles and Seattle. PRL is exploring opening additional labs across the country.
