GENETWORx combination testing for Influenza, RSV, and COVID-19

The capability to test for influenza A/B, RSV, and COVID-19 from a single mid-turbinate or nasopharyngeal swab sample means less discomfort for patients when compared with collecting a separate sample for each test. Testing a single sample for several pathogens uses fewer resources and takes less time when compared with running several individual tests on multiple samples to detect different pathogens. GENETWORx has a fast results-reporting platform, making results available in less than 48 hours. These results can be accessed by the patient or the provider in the online portal or our COVID-19 software solution, named Aura. Aura users have expedited turnaround times of Flu A-B/COVID Combo Test results, as this end-to-end digital management system significantly reduces laboratory process time. Aura ensures a compliant, safe, healthy population for healthcare providers, schools, universities, governments, cities, employers, and more. Learn more about the benefits of this software. There is currently no vaccine for RSV.[1] Even with the correct strain, the flu vaccine is not 100% reliable.[2] With all the unknowns and risks associated with this upcoming flu and RSV season, ensure you have the most comprehensive, accurate Flu A/B, RSV, COVID test on hand.
