GROUPS CAN CONTRACT WITH WSU COVID-19 TESTING LAB FOR 24-HOUR RESPONSE
|
|
Businesses and organizations can now contract with and receive 24-hour COVID-19 test results from Wichita State University’s Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory. Organizations may begin the process by reviewing information and filling out the forms at https://forms.gle/E7dZmxN4AMUjEmy58.
Easily accessible testing with quick results is a key component to keep an economy open, and Wichita State created the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory to support the community and state with better capacity to live with the pandemic and help people return to work and school faster and support our health care, service providers and first responders. The State of Kansas and Sedgwick County have both pledged to support expanded testing provided to the community by WSU MDL using Federal CARES funding.
Wichita State’s MDL provides highly accurate, 24-hour turnaround on both saliva and nasopharyngeal swab FDA EUA approved PCR tests. As a CLIA approved testing laboratory, it uses CDC protocols and state-of-the-art automation and robotics along with a digital portal for contracting organizations and patients to order tests and view results.
Any group, such as businesses, non-profits, medical groups, schools, childcare, long-term care facilities and more, can contract directly with WSU. Pricing represents a 40 to 60 percent savings over typical tests.
Once an organization contracts with Wichita State’s MDL lab, it will receive training in the process of collecting saliva samples and using the portal for ordering tests and viewing patient results.
For now, Wichita State is contracting for tests through groups and organizations with individual testing available through groups.
To request more information or to contract with WSU, forms and information are available at https://forms.gle/E7dZmxN4AMUjEmy58. Groups can also e-mail mdl@wichita.edu. The lab phone number is (316) 978-8600. The person working with groups to begin testing is Tonya Witherspoon.
