Benefits of Molecular testing with ID NOW™ :
ID NOW™ provides fast and accurate testing
Only trained staff at clinics with CLIA-waivers may use ID NOW™. This waiver helps ensure our clinic is following appropriate procedures and quality controls to conduct our lab tests on site.
ID NOW™ is located in our office, removing the need to transport patient samples.
The rapid molecular test is easy to use, eliminating errors to make sure your test is conducted appropriately.
How does ID NOW™ technology work?
A sample is taken by swabbing the inside of your nose.
ID NOW™ examines the sample, looking for the DNA or RNA of the virus. All viruses and bacteria have their own unique DNA or RNA that carry their genetic information.
ID NOW™ multiplies RNA or DNA of sample from a few target molecules up to a billion in a matter of minutes.
In 15 minutes or less, results will show whether or not you have an infection.
