MarketLab Introduces CLIA-Waived Tests to Health Care Supply Network

CALEDONIA, Mich., July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MarketLab announced today that it has expanded its product portfolio to include hundreds of new CLIA-waived testing supplies to address an underserved need in the health care marketplace.

The expansion comes as demand for FDA-cleared test systems continues to increase among health care organizations, employers, governments, criminal justice programs, educational institutions, and other sectors. Improved patient care, workflow, and throughput are MarketLab's primary aims in incorporating these new products, said Ross Perry, clinical laboratory product manager, MarketLab. 

"CLIA-waived tests allow physicians to perform common lab tests bedside, while the patient waits, and provide results all in the same visit," Perry said. "This helps to promote a more tailored treatment plan for each patient, potentially reducing the number of visits and often breaking down time frame barriers for more immediate care."

MarketLab's CLIA-waived rapid tests are approved by the FDA for home use. Results from waived tests are valid in a wide variety of applications. They are designed to be highly repeatable, and have an extremely low error risk. For those who are able to interpret results, several tests are available on analyzer platforms, which can print results. 

As part of its launch, MarketLab developed easy-to-navigate CLIA-waived shopping guide, where customers can shop by specimen type or test type.

"We offer tests from the industry's top manufacturers, each with its own advantages, and are continuing to add new tests based on demand," Perry said.
