In response to the rapidly evolving situation with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Genesys Diagnostics Inc., is implementing a high-throughput, more comprehensive option, with the NxTAG® CoV Extended Panel, which can detect three recent coronavirus targets: CoVID-19 (ORF, E-gene, and N-gene). This panel will be run in parallel with the NxTAG® Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) with Influenza and 18 other viruses and bacteria to provide a more complete picture of a patient’s respiratory health. Genesys Diagnostics came Live with COVID-19 testing on March 17th, 2020. Genesys Diagnostics can test 500 samples a day and is planning to increase the capacity to 1000 samples a day.
The NaTAG CoV 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), has been validated by Genesys Diagnostics internally and is being made available pursuant to guidance issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Genesys Diagnostics test has been validated for use with respiratory samples, including nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs.

Genesys Diagnostics is serving local hospitals in Connecticut and Massachusetts. We look forward to serving our communities with the highest quality of service and fastest turnaround times.
