High-throughput testing for senior care

In addition to PRL's SARS-CoV-2 test, our NEW Concise Respiratory Panel enhances care for residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Diverse Panel Offerings

PRL has expanded beyond COVID-19 testing! We recently launched our Concise Respiratory Panel, with additional routine tests for general health in the pipline.

Early Variant Detection

PRL's SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance service, utilizing our advanced sequencing workflow, can identify SARS-CoV-2 variants in your patient population, a critical piece of information in shaping population-level mitigation and response.

Low Cost Burden

Affordable GOLD standard PCR testing with fast turnaround times helps decrease unnecessary costs incurred from expensive, traditional diagnostics.

Regular Staff Testing

Test your staff regularly and easily to monitor cases within the facility, allowing you to take the appropriate action to mitigate transmission and protect your elderly residents.

Solutions for senior care

PRL is continuing to expand our GOLD standard of testing at low cost, high quality and fast turnaround times.

All-in-One Solution

PRL provides integrated COVID-19 testing and variant surveillance sequencing, plus additional molecular testing for other infectious diseases, in one place.

Built for Scale

PRL utilizes scientific and industry-leading lab automation expertise to process our tests at scale. We return 99% results in < 24 hours.

Accessibility

Price should not be the barrier to elevate the standard of care. Our services cost significantly less than the national average.

Proven Leadership

As NYC's official COVID-19 testing partner, PRL has tested millions of samples to date and was the first to detect Beta and Omicron variants in NY State.

Our offerings

Older adults living in congregate settings, such as nursing homes, are at higher risk for contracting infectious diseases.(1) We offer fast and reliable testing for long-term care residents.

SARS-CoV-2

Rapid response for isolation, quarantine and treatment decisions.

Respiratory Panels

Quick rule-in or rule-out of infections with similar cold/flu-like symptoms.

What sort of testing can PRL do?

PRL can test for COVID-19 virus (SCV2) RNA in saliva and sample pools, as well as in nasal and nasopharyngeal swab transport media.

Unlike other laboratories, we can also sequence the SCV2 RNA detected to identify variants for public health and research purposes.

Where can I find PRL?

PRL has labs in New York City, Orange County and Washington D.C. PRL is exploring opening additional labs across the country.

What are the panel part numbers for ordering?

Part number for the Concise Respiratory panel is 21000016. Part number for the Comprehensive panel is 21000001.

Is PRL CLIA certified?

PRL has 3 CLIA-certified labs (PRL NY: 33D2196459, PRL DC: 21D2215498, PRL OC: 05D2230382)

How does PRL ensure testing quality?

PRL utilizes a proprietary scientific assay that can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with a limit of detection of 200 cp/mL while retaining gold standard industry accuracy.

What is PRL’s average turnaround time for COVID-19 tests?

Turnaround time (TAT) for 99% of tests between 6-24 hours.

Does PRL require a minimum testing volume?

PRL requires a minimum of 300 tests per day.
