What is CLIA and are you CLIA certified?

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA)

In general terms, the CLIA regulations establish quality standards for laboratory testing performed on specimens from humans, such as blood, body fluid and tissue, for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease, or assessment of health.

Both the Antigen and RT-PCR tests are CLIA waived, and we are therefore allowed to perform and run results on those test specimen in-house.  This is what lets us provide a rapid result.
