Total Testing Solutions to Offer Monkeypox PCR Tests in Los Angeles

Healthcare startup partners with Fulgent Labs to add Monkeypox testing to their suite of offerings

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Total Testing Solutions (TTS), a Los Angeles-based medical diagnostic testing company has announced a partnership with private lab, Fulgent, to offer Monkeypox PCR tests in the LA area. This state-of-the-art testing is now available at the West LA TTS site (10830 Santa Monica Blvd., Century City), the North Hollywood TTS site (4835 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood) and can be arranged to be collected at the patient's home. Additional TTS locations will begin offering the service in the coming weeks.

The Monkeypox PCR test leverages the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) orthopoxvirus test, which detects non-smallpox related orthopoxviruses, including monkeypox. The test, available onsite at TTS or as an in-home concierge service, is a swab of the lesion, and it has a turnaround time of 1-3 days from the sample's arrival at the lab.

"We are very excited to be working with the Fulgent team to provide this testing option to our local communities," said TTS Co-Founder and CEO Lauren Trenkle, PA MPH. "This will be an essential step to slow the spread of this disease."

The experts at Total Testing Solutions have been offering a range of innovative testing solutions over the past two years to provide access to easy and accurate testing for COVID-19 and beyond, and this new test is another step in that direction.
