A turn around time of 24-36 hours should be easily achievable for the performing lab, depending on the time of day the specimen arrives (morning vs afternoon). It takes about 1 hour for the initial RT-PCR amplification, and sequencing takes

Thank you for your efforts as well! Sample collection and accessioning (accessioning is unpacking test tubes one by one and aliquoting them into plates in the lab) is definitely going to require a lot of manpower. I'm hopeful that pati
