Acupath Laboratories Inc, a company involved in sub-specialised anatomic and molecular pathology services, has introduced its COVID-19 testing using the FDA EUA approved ThermoFisher TaqPath RT-PCR COVID-19 Combo kit, it was reported on Friday.

The test results are available within 24 to 48 hours and this is one of the few labs focusing on regions of three coronavirus genes; orf-1ab, S protein, and N protein, and MS2 phage control.

John Cucci, chief sales officer, said, 'The timing of the launch of our test is crucial as new testing requirements were recently announced for patients scheduled for elective surgeries, as well as employees of nursing homes, rehab centres, assisted living facilities, and other healthcare entities.'
