PCR sensitivity range

having a hard time finding a lab that does a Quant PCR below 43 IU.
Labcorp temporarily shut down NGI QuataSure/UltraQual.

Anybody know a lab that does a more sensitive PCR , possibly in NY merto area ?

Once a patient achieves UND the time, cost and sensitivity for more sensitive testing is a bit of overkill anyway.

currently running the NGI QuantaSure <2 IU and it is taking 2.5 wks. Just wanted to let
anyone interested in this test know because this can screw up you Drs appointment.
Before it became non-oderable for a while it only took 1.5 weeks.
Maybe they are short stuffed at NGI now after all people working on this test are required
to have a California state medical licenses ?

Wow grlove576, you must have had one hell of a bad day to be spewing such nastiness on everyone of your posts.  It's unfortunate you found it necessary to take your frustrations out on a group of heppers.  You certainly aren't the epitome of a family orientated guy.
