Pooled testing is performed by combining (pooling) samples from multiple people and testing them together in the lab. This works in two ways depending on your child’s school. Schools may choose to test students individually and have us combine the samples. If any pools are positive, all of the individual samples are automatically reflexed to an individual test. Your student will receive an individual result. This allows us to determine positive cases without follow-up testing required.
Other schools may choose to pool tests on-site. This means up to 10 students are tested together and their samples are placed in a single test tube. If the pool is positive, the school will reach out to those families to determine next steps and follow-up testing.
For both options, the school sends the tests to our lab, and we’ll have results ready within 24 hours (on average).
