Huntsville-based Microphase Clinical Laboratory is pleased to announce the launch of their new Allergy Testing system provided by Minaris Medical America, a global leader of multiplex in vitro allergy diagnostics for over 30 years. The new system that Microphase is now offering is Minaris Medical’s OPTIGEN® Allergen-Specific IgE Assay, which provides a comprehensive panel test for over 60 known environmental and food allergens. This new system is more convenient for doctors and their patients as it is performed via in vitro testing (bloodwork), which in turn eliminates the need for traditional “prick” tests and also alleviates delays due to patients’ having to discontinue their allergy or other medications. Microphase is the first clinical lab in the Tennessee Valley area to implement this system.
 
According to WebMd (https://www.webmd.com/allergies/allergy-statistics), “more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year, and allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S., with an annual cost in excess of $18 billion.” Microphase is implementing this new system because it will offer their medical provider clients and their patients more informed clinical decisions and more rapid and efficient results, which ensures more patient satisfaction.

​Huntsville-based Microphase Clinical Laboratory is pleased to announce the addition of a new PCR diagnostic respiratory panel testing system created by global biotechnology leader Biomerieux that is now available as part of their in-house rapid lab tests. This in-house, diagnostic solution provides 1 PCR Test that targets 15 viruses and bacteria, including Covid-19, providing accurate results within 30 minutes. Microphase is the first clinical lab in the North Alabama area to implement this system. The benefits of this new testing solution include more informed clinical decisions, added with more rapid and efficient results, which ensures more patient satisfaction.
 
Microphase Co-Founder Beth Woody shared why they are implementing this new testing system, “We see many patients with legitimate symptoms who test negative for Covid-19, Flu A/B, RSV even with a PCR test. Before now, we could not give them any answer or result to help them know what they have. The new PCR panel we have now detects up to 15 of the most common respiratory infections (viral and bacterial) that can all display the same symptoms. Moreover, it can deliver these results within 30 minutes. This can give us the tools and answers for the clinician/patient to immediately give them a plan of action on how to proceed with life activities."
