GENETWORx’s COVID-19 test options include saliva samples, with capability of performing these assays on two unique platforms. Tests are being offered in accordance with the FDA Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency (Revised November 15, 2021), Section IV, Part C. Saliva tests yield an accuracy greater than 98%. This test should be administered by Medically Trained Personnel (MTP). In order to avoid a testing rejection, those taking the test should not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 minutes before giving the saliva sample.

The GENETWORX saliva test includes a saliva-collecting funnel with stabilizing liquid. The person taking the test will spit into the funnel until the amount of liquid saliva (not bubbles) reaches the fill-to line. Once the amount has been reached, the MTP will hold the tube upright and close the funnel lid until there’s a loud click. The click is the liquid in the lid being released into the tube and mixed into the saliva. Next, the MTP will hold the tube upright and unscrew the funnel from the tube, using the small cap to close the tube tightly. After shaking the capped tube for 5 seconds, the specimen is put into the biohazard bag, then into a shipping box and the FedEx return pack.

Due to one of the fastest results-reporting platforms in the world, results can be accessed in GENETWORx’s portal in less than 72 hours, as well as on the phone or by text.
