Medio for Schools
Gold-Standard PCR Testing

Simple saliva-based tests make sample collection simple and easy, even for elementary school grades.

Medio extends the same test pricing to every family member in the school community to keep everyone in student pods safe.
Why Medio Lab tests are better than "pooled testing"
Medio Labs can offer the industry’s most accurate results (highest sensitivity and specificity) at the lowest possible cost. The new process has received an Emergency Use Approval [E.U.A.] from the FDA, and all testing is performed in a CLIA certified laboratory operated either by UCLA or Medio Labs.
With pooled testing, anytime a pooled sample tests positive, everyone in the pool must be retested. Medio’s advanced molecular barcode system maintains all the scale and cost benefits of pooled testing, but generates definitive positive and negative test results for every individual sample submitted, with no retesting or additional costs or delays.
Simple saliva kit delivery and return process makes collection and reporting easy, even in kindergarten
- Barcoded sample collection kits with saliva vials, funnels, alcohol swabs and shipping cassettes are shipped in bulk to your school.
- Automated matching between student’s registration records and sample barcode for easy registration and collection..
- All Individual test kit, bar code, and contact info, symptom questionnaire answers are securely stored on HIPAA compliant cloud servers.
- Samples dropped off at a Medio collection site are shipped to the nearest Medio Lab and processed for next-day results.
