Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP)

Same-day results for nasal swab PCR detection of flu and other respiratory viruses, as well as bacterial and fungal infections, and antibiotic-resistant markers.

PCR technology enables us to quickly and accurately identify pneumonia-causing bacteria, the influenza virus, and a multitude of other respiratory viruses. This allows for the most efficient assessment and management of illness. Our comprehensive screening is paired with a rapid turn-around time with results available the same day that the lab receives your specimens.
