Turnaround Time Matters
When time is of the essence,
We work very hard for every patient to receive fast and accurate PT-PCR results within 48 hours.
Rapid results are ran on-site, and left for at least 10 minutes for precise results.
Results are then released within 30 minutes upon testing.
It all boils down to technology.
Empire City Laboratories, with over 15 years
in the medical laboratory field offers
testing with state of the art machines
from PerkinElmer, and Roche that are rated
by the FDA as the most sensitive COVID-19
testing machines.
Accuracy
There’s no room for error. The equipment we use leaves 0% mistake margin. That means one hundred percent accuracy for every test taken.
Automation
A specimen that doesn’t change hands and isn’t tampered with doesn’t get contaminated. That doesn’t mean the process isn’t monitored. It just means the standards are higher.
Capacity
When the possible number of daily tests is 30,000, there will never be backlog, extra waiting, or quantity overwhelm.
The after matters too
Test results should be easy to access and easier to decipher.
You will receive fast and easy access to your test results.
How easy? Just a matter of logging in to our portal
and seeing results you can read and understand.

Empire city laboratories uses multiple types of COVID-19 testing to check for active infection. Rapid-result testing locations perform antigen testing. PCR testing is performed using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PT-PCR) to detect genetic material from the virus. If you are getting your testing for a specific purpose such as travel, please ensure you are selecting the proper test required by your airline, destination or other requiring organization. Certain travel destinations and airlines require PT-PCR testing and do not accept rapid antigen testing.
