COVID-19 PCR Based Testing
Radiance Diagnostics offers health care professionals in the Greater Chicago area fast, accurate results for PCR testing using FDA-authorized ARIES technology from Luminex Corp. for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) the strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a respiratory illness.
COVID-19 ANTIBODY TESTING
Our COVID19 antibody testing is done using a qualitative COVID-19 IgG and IgM antibody test kit using Lateral flow technology.
Molecular Pathology:
We perform diagnostic testing in the areas of infectious disease utilizing commercial assays authorized by the FDA for clinical use. We offer the following tests:
- ARIES® Flu A/B & RSV Assay (IVD)
- ARIES® SARS-CoV-2 Assay (EUA-IVD)
- ARIES® Group A Strep (IVD)
Immunology / Serology:
We perform diagnostic testing for the detection of infectious agents and assessment of the immune system. Serologic diagnosis of infectious disease includes testing to detect antibodies against various antigens derived from SARS-CoV-2. We offer the following tests:
- COVID19 IgG Antibody
- COVID19 IgM Antibody
