Accurate COVID-19 Testing in SCV

Unruh Spine Centers is now offering two options for accurate COVID-19 testing in Santa Clarita:

• COVID Lab Test IgG and IgM Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoassay
• AllerCyte - Antigen Kit

Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Lab Test

The test is designed to detect antibodies in a blood sample that would indicate that you may have a current (contracted within 3-5 days) or prior COVID-19 infection. The test would be taken via blood draw in the office and mailed to the lab. Results come back in 10-12 business days.

AllerCyte Antigen Kit

The COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immonochromatographic assay for the detection of extracted nucleocapsid protein antigens specfic to SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19 Antigen tests provide results within minutes of test being administered, allowing for rapid decisions about patient care.

Important Facts

We have received a lot of questions about the validity of our testing. You should know that no antibodies tests are currently approved by the FDA yet, however, our lab is 1 of 10 labs that has been granted access to provide the anti-body testing. The lab is fully certified with the FDA and the test itself is registered.

We use Marquis Lab who is partnered with Roche.

Our test uses a blood specimen, not saliva. The IgG antibodies identify those exposed to the virus in the past. If you have immunized anitbodies this test could help you return to work.
