PSC testing availability
SARS-CoV-2 RNA (COVID-19) and Influenza A and B, Qualitative NAAT combination test is available for collection at Quest Patient Service Centers (PSCs) for patients with mild symptoms.
Know more, sooner, with respiratory molecular combination testing
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), influenza, RSV, and other respiratory viruses can present with similar symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. For at-risk groups1-3 or patients with a more acute illness, an expedited diagnosis is crucial, so treatment can be initiated while it’s most effective.1-3 That’s why it’s important to test for each of these illnesses at the same time.
Testing that supports a faster diagnosis
When a patient presents in-office with respiratory illness symptoms, send the specimen directly to Quest for the convenience of combination testing. Our SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and respiratory molecular combination tests use a single specimen to test for common respiratory viruses, providing timely results to help you develop an appropriate care plan.
