Diagnostic (rRT-PCR) Test
COVID-19 Testing
Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction
COVID-19 Nucleic Acid RT-PCR Test Kit is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens (such as nasal, mid-turbinate, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal swab specimens and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate specimens) from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.. Our multiplex SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test kit has received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

Screening Test
COVID-19 Testing
Screening testing for SARS-CoV-2 is intended to identify infected persons who are asymptomatic and without known or suspected exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Screening testing is performed to identify persons who may be contagious so that measures can be taken to prevent further transmission.
Service Highlights
- Sample pooling available
- Collection kit provided, including swab and transporting media under room temperature
- Results available next day after sample receipt at Sinochips Diagnostics Laboratory
- Results are sent directly to ordering HCP using automated LIMS
Sinochips Respiratory Pathogens (RPP) Tests
Manufactured by Sinochips Diagnostics, the RPP Panel utilizes advanced real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology for the semi-quantitative detection of specific Respiratory Pathogens (RPP). This test is designed to provide reliable and accurate results, facilitating the identification of RPP pathogens that are most associated with the risk of developing RPP-related conditions.

FAQ
COVID-19 Testing
COVID-19 infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for the current global pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 spreads from person to person by respiratory droplets and is mostly easily transmitted when people are in close contact with one another.
A specimen for a COVID-19 molecular test is usually collected by inserting a swab through the nose to the back of the throat. That specimen is then sent to a laboratory.
For our Diagnostic Test (RT-PCR) test, the result is available next day after sample receipt at Sinochips Diagnostics. For our Antibody (Serology) test, the turn-around-time is typically 3 days.
A negative result means that the person tested most likely did not have an active COVID-19 infection at the time the sample was collected.
False-negative results are possible, so retesting might be recommended if a clinician still suspects COVID-19.
A positive result means that the patient has an active COVID-19 infection and, in accordance with CDC guidance, should self-isolate and stay away from others.
In the event of breathing trouble or other emergency warning signs, seek emergency medical care.
Yes. Although molecular diagnostic tests are highly specific, occasionally tests can yield a false-positive or false-negative result.
The price of our COVID-19 Diagnostic (rRT-PCR) Test is $150, and $65 for Serology (Antibody) Test to our hospital and laboratory clients. Sinochips Diagnostics does not charge patients directly for laboratory services.
