Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway firm has announced a COVID-19 private testing service as part of an expansion of the firm’s clinical laboratory facilities in the West of Ireland.
Complete Laboratory Solutions is one of Ireland’s largest privately-owned contract laboratories and is based at the Tuam Road in the city.
The private testing service is designed to support proactive asymptomatic screening for COVID-19 and is relevant to all sectors including those that require employees onsite.
Swabbing for clients takes place on a weekly basis onsite, with tests analysed at CLS laboratories and results available in 24 hours.
Any positive tests are reviewed by the CLS clinical consultants and shared with the GP of the person swabbed, with the patient’s GP alerted immediately as well as the local HSE Public Health Department.
Participants can also be provided with certification for travel purposes within a three-day timeframe of the test taking place.
The service is available to both private industry and public health in Ireland.
Evelyn O’Toole is founder and Chief Executive Officer of CLS - she says that by combining best in class technology and systems, the firm has achieved 100 per cent detection level accuracy for its PCR COVID-19 testing service.
