Does SalivaDirect have 'Emergency Use Authorization' (EUA)?

Is CommunityLab certified by CLIA?

Can I track my sample after I shipped it?

Does temperature impact the sample?

As long as proper collection methods were followed, the sample is stable for several days under a wide range of temperatures.

Why does collection of children under age 18 require trained adult supervision?

The EUA provided by the FDA requires collection by adults. For the FDA to consider the specimen valid, adults trained in collection must supervise children under 17.

How long does a pcr covid test take?

Traditional PCR COVID-19 tests take quite awhile to process due to lengthy sample preparation for the highlight sensitive laboratory test. This is why most labs have a long turnaround of 72 hours before results are available. CommunityLab can provide PCR COVID test results within 24 hours of when the sample is received due to a cutting edge method developed at Yale University specifically for COVID-19 PCR testing called SalivaDirect™.

What is involved in the trained supervision?

Training requires viewing a short video and completing a short quiz.

Will insurance reimburse the cost of the test?

Once you activate the kit and have results, you may submit the receipt for reimbursement by your insurance provider.

Can I pay with my HSA/FSA?

The kit is considered a medical item and can be purchased using an HSA/FSA fund.

Where can I get a quick covid pcr test?

A COVID PCR test requires highly specialized laboratory equipment to run. So, while you may find collection materials for a PCR test in some stores, the PCR COVID test itself can only be run in a laboratory with the proper authorization. The extremely sensitive equipment provides more reliable results than common rapid tests, which is why a PCR COVID-19 test is required for things such as travel.

Due to sample preparation requirements, most labs offering COVID-19 PCR testing provide results within 48-72 hours. However, CommunityLab uses a cutting-edge method called SalivaDirect™ developed by Yale University specifically for quicker COVID-19 PCR results. Using this special technique, CommunityLab can provide quick COVID PCR results within 24 hours of when the lab receives the sample.
