Types of testing we offer
We offer the following testing solutions:

- Expert Testing Strategy and Consultation
Batch Testing
Batch testing is a fast, easy and cost-effective testing method that combines individual nasal swabs from a group of students into one sample for testing. Batching samples together is an efficient way to screen large populations for a fraction of the cost of individual testing.
If a batch is negative, all individuals in that group are negative. If a batch is positive, individual testing is needed to identify positive individuals.
Individual testing
In addition to batch testing to screen school communities, NW Lab offers flexible individual testing. Opportunities for individual testing includes testing positive batches, and testing for individuals with symptoms or a known positive exposure.
