Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat. Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community.
While the feature is in closed beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Twitch Rivals competitors (along with some other Twitch streamers) will have access starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you’re interested in trying out Versus for yourself.
Obviously, this isn’t Twitch’s first foray into esports. Twitch Rivals has been hosting competitions between streamers and pros since last year, and in April, the company rolled out an esports directory to keep viewers updated on the latest tournaments. What’s interesting about Versus is how it’s very similar to Facebook Gaming’s Tournaments. Twitch is playing catch-up! Even so, it’s cool to see good ideas make their way further into the mainstream.

3 Golden Reasons Loncor Is A Top Small Cap Gold Explorer
Loncor Resources (LN: TSX / OTCQX: LONCF /) is a proven gold explorer focused 100% on Africa, a continent where the team has previously discovered over 27 million ounces of resources…. with plans to find even more.
The Company controls its flagship Imbo Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it has already has 2.5 million ounces of inferred resources with 2.19M ozs at the Adumbi deposit alone. Loncor is looking to swiftly increase its gold resource through focused drilling at Adumbi, increasing its ounces toward production.
More than just lip service, Loncor has a billion-dollar gold miners as shareholders that also believe in the Company’s vision.
Resolute Mining of Australia has a market capitalization of $1.5 Billion and owns 27% of Loncor
Newmont continues to hold a position in Loncor with 7%
Moreover, Loncor’s CEO owns 26% of the Company. Taken all together, it adds up to a great deal of confidence in Loncor Resources, which should provide any current or potential new shareholder with even greater confidence considering the due diligence abilities of these large shareholders.
WAIT …… 1 MORE MULTI BILLION DOLLAR GOLD COMPANY BEHIND LONCOR … BARRICK GOLD
There is another element to the Loncor story that adds tremendous opportunity, a Joint Venture on all of Loncor’s remaining land with Barrick Gold, the $53 Billion Company whose mandate is to find “Tier 1 gold deposits” on Loncor’s ground. Barrick has commenced drilling on Loncor’s land looking for their target of a + 5,0 million ounce gold deposit.
But Barrick is focusing there for a reason.
Barrick operates their outstanding DRC mine – Kibali – in a JV with another multi-billion gold operator, Anglogold Ashanti, plus the Government of the DRC. The mine is situated 220kms from Loncor’s Ngayu ground. Kibali represents one of the world’s great new gold mines, producing a record breaking 814,027oz in 2019 at “all in sustaining costs” of just US$693/oz. Barrick, who owns a 45% share, has joined other major mining players like Ivanhoe Mines and Glencore in releasing the billions of dollars of potential mineral wealth in the DRC.
Loncor arguably offers the largest direct exposure to the gold potential of the DRC, backed up by individuals who know the DRC well (drill down below). With Barrick moving two rigs in to take a closer look at 6 high priority targets defined by them. You now know why Barrick has a JV with Loncor on their other DRC assets – they are looking for the next Kibali style project and nothing less.
Though Loncor’s Imbo project is not part of the Barrick JV it’s on the same huge geological belt, has grades similar to Kibali and has more than 2.5 million ounces of inferred gold resources already – with drilling ongoing- Loncor isn’t just wishful thinking that much more can possibly be found.
THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
As you may have guessed by now and contrary to layman perceptions, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a significant player in the world’s production of resources, which are the Congo’s largest source of export income. An estimated $24 trillion in untapped deposits of raw mineral ores lie beneath the Congo’s incredibly vast lands. This is the equivalent to the combined Gross Domestic Product of Europe and the United States. Multi-billion dollar companies such as Tesla, Glencore, Samsung, Ivanhoe Mines, Zijn Mining Group, China Molybdenum Ltd, Barrick Gold and AngloGold Ashanti all have deals or projects in the DRC.
Finally, all junior resource investors know that in order to be successful, companies like Loncor must have a great exploration team with relevant knowledge and area expertise. In this regard, Loncor does not disappoint.
Loncor’s team has previously delineated +/-13 million ounces of gold resources in the 20 years many of the individuals have operated in the DRC, with the huge Ngayu Belt now the focus. In Africa, their record is more impressive with key individuals finding closer to 27 million ounces of total resources.
As an example, President Peter Cowley has over 40 years’ experience in the minerals industry and a history of major exploration successes in Africa, including the DRC. Among his major accomplishments, from 2004 to 2008 he led the exploration at Banro that delineated major gold resources at Twangiza and Namoya, also in the DRC.
Prior to joining Banro, Mr. Cowley was Managing Director of Ashanti Exploration, where he led the exploration team in the discovery and development of the Geita mine in Tanzania, a resource of over 17M ozs.
Prior to Ashanti, he was Technical Director of Cluff Resources which discovered and developed mines in Zimbabwe, Ghana and Tanzania.
Mr Cowley has found and knows where to find ounces in Africa, especially in the DRC.
Arnold Kondrat, is the founder and CEO of Loncor Resources with over 30 years’ experience in the public markets, primarily in the resource industry. His 25-year history in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has enabled the Company to secure a number of highly prospective gold assets. Arnold has repeatedly supported the company, often through difficult times, and now owns 26% of Loncor.
THE 3 REASONS WHY LONCOR IS A WORLD CLASS, SMALL CAP GOLD EXPLORER:-
1.Loncor’s Imbo Project looks like a potential company maker with 2.5 million ounces already outlined
Loncor is independently on its way to creating a world class gold project at Imbo. They control 84.68% of all gold discovered at Imbo and have a fully funded 12-hole drill program planned over the next 9 months where they believe they can readily add ounces to the 2.5 million inferred resource outlined to date. The Adumbi Deposit remains the focus and has 2.19M ounces and its sister deposits – Kitenge and Manzako – account for approximately 300,000 more ounces.
Enterprise Value to Ounces in the Ground currently approaches US$14/oz
For around US$14 an ounce you can currently buy an “option” on Loncor continuing to succeed in adding ounces through drilling at Adumbi, moving the project closer to the sort of economics displayed at Kibali.
2. Resolute and Barrick Relationships
There isn’t a junior resource explorer in the world who wouldn’t want to have just 1 supportive relationship with one of the major miners – and Loncor has 3:
Resolute Mining is a gold producer with multiple long life, high margin assets and a strong platform for growth and consolidation within Africa. Resolute sees its 2020 gold production at 500,000 oz. They own 27% of Loncor’s stock
Newmont continues to hold a 7% position in Loncor
Barrick Gold is a $53 Billion dollar major whose JV with Loncor in the DRC speaks for itself as they search for Kibali II.
If a new investor was looking for 3rd party validation to justify investing in a small-cap resources company, it simply doesn’t get much better than having these mining thoroughbreds supporting Loncor.
3. Management Expertise and Ownership
If you are looking for gold follow the people who have already found it. The old adage is true, and management is one of the best indicators of how far a company can exceed expectations. Loncor management has delineated 13 million ounces previously in the DRC and is looking to add more through drilling in 2020.
Add in the fact that key management own 26% of Loncor stock and it is clear they have put their money where their mouth is long before asking outside investors to do the same.
CONCLUSION – With gold prices trending aggressively higher, investors will be hard pressed to find a better company than Loncor Resources to participate in a bull market for gold.
Loncor is in a position few juniors could ever hope to achieve, with the combination of their own +3-million-ounce projects, a JV with Barrick and shareholders that include other major miners.

Plant-based diets shine when looking at the gut health
Microbiome of the gut is created at birth, the study notes, but continues to develop throughout infancy and is significantly affected throughout childhood by diet
There is a large shift in the composition of the gut as infants are weaned and begin consuming solid foods, with the makeup of the gut resembling that of adults by about age 3 years
A recent study investigating how foods impact gut health in children points to plant-based proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and grains as key to a diverse and healthy microbiome.
There has been a wealth of evidence collected on how important the gut microbiome is for health maintenance, but little research has been done on how diet habits are related to gut health in prepubescent children. A recent study took a closer look.
The study,1 published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, reveals that gut health in young children and pre-pubescent teenagers is both dynamic and diverse, and is particularly responsive to certain food groups.
“The gut microbiome remains dynamic for children past 3 years of age and responds to dietary differences,” says lead author Dena Herman, PhD, MPH, RD, professor at California State University, Northridge and director of the MCH Nutrition Leadership Training Program at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. “This represents an opportunity to learn healthy habits early in life so that they can be sustained over the life course to maximize health.”
The health of the gut plays a vital role in maintaining health and supporting immune functions, the study notes. The microbiome is impacted by a number of factors, with individualized diets being one of the most important determinants of a diverse gut environment.
The microbiome of the gut is created at birth, the study notes, but continues to develop throughout infancy and is significantly affected throughout childhood by diet. There is a large shift in the composition of the gut as infants are weaned and begin consuming solid foods, with the makeup of the gut resembling that of adults by about age 3 years. Little research has been done on the makeup of the childhood gut between 3 years of age and the adolescent years, the study notes, but dietary patterns have been associated with significant differences in the guts of children in the age range of 4 to 8 years. As diets have shifted more toward a Western diet, heavily featuring highly processed foods and high-fat animal products, more and more diseases have been attributed to an imbalance in the microbial composition of the gut, the study reveals.
To examine how diet influenced gut health in the study group, researchers asked parents to collect fecal samples and quantitative 24-hour diet recalls, investigating each 3 times, each time about 6 days apart. The team examined how diet impacted gut health by splitting children into groups based on the types of food they consumed. Protein consumption—both animal- and plant-based—was the only food group that was associated with gut diversity. Total grain and vegetable consumption, on the other hand, heavily influenced the community makeup of the microbiome, the study notes. The research team noted some surprise here, in that yogurt was the only animal-derived food that was associated with the membership and structure of the microbiome. Instead, proteins were more closely linked to higher levels of diversity in the types of microorganisms found in the gut, the study states. The most abundant microorganisms found in the study groups were Bacteroides and Prevotella. The first was tied to Western diets, and the latter to fiber-rich diets.
Adequate diversity in the microbiome samples was noted, with results appropriate for the cohort’s age group. The research team found that older children in the study group had more diversity in their gut microbiomes, and that gender had no impact on the results. There were a number of trends noted with different food groups, such as lower diversity with a high non- whole-food grain consumption, and abundance of certain bacteria groups with higher consumption of fruit and fiber.
Overall, the study revealed that fresh fruits and vegetable consumption led to increased variation in the structure of the microbiome—with citrus, melon, and berries contributing most to gut diversity. Whole and non-whole grains were key to maintaining gut health, immune health, and glucose regulation, Herman stated. B-vitamins also played a big role in gut health, contributing to microbiome structure and composition, she says.
The 2- to 9-year-old group studied in this report is significant, because this represents a time when diets are becoming more diverse, and children begin to explore and become more independent in their eating habits. The study highlights the need to make this time count, the study notes, with guidance from adults on healthy eating habits to help promote good health and disease prevention in adulthood.
“Early and middle childhood may represent a crucial window when the gut microbiome might still be amenable to lasting manipulations through diet,” the study reveals.
The study emphasizes the importance of diet in the development of a healthy microbiome during the childhood years, with non-whole-grain foods enriched with vitamins and minerals being perhaps one of the largest contributors to gut health in this pilot sample.
“There are many benefits of a healthy gut for children. First and foremost, is an enhanced immune response. Young children are often more susceptible to upper respiratory tract infections and ear infections, especially if they are in childcare and as they enter school,” Herman explains. “By maintaining a diverse diet, children have a better chance of maximizing the healthy bacteria that can support immune health.”
The benefits of a healthy gut don’t end with physical health, she adds. Mental health effects were not the focus of the study, Herman says, but there has been prior research drawing a strong connection between gut health and brain health.
“For children this could translate into better focus in school allowing them to reach their academic potential. Unlike other studies, this study showed that children past 3 years of age are still able to change the structure and membership of their microbiome through the foods that they eat,” she says. “This is exciting and helps us extend the findings from studies in adults to children. The benefits described for children are similar for adults. However, as we age we have increased risk for inflammation, which can lead to higher rates of chronic diseases including cancers. That is why it is important to start healthy habits as early in life as possible.”
Although the study was small, it was more detailed than most previously conducted research examining gut health in children, she says. It highlights the benefits of plant-based diets, which Herman says she hopes will convince parents and clinicians to make changes—both for their children and themselves.
“I would hope that the results we have shared provide further support for the promotion of a plant-based diet—not only for young children, but also for adults. Parents are role models for their children’s eating habits and this study shows that we can actively engage in making positive changes to our gut health and overall health starting at a young age,” Herman says. “As a pediatric dietitian myself, I would hope that we could work together with the medical community, particularly pediatricians, to promote healthy habits including healthful eating habits and regular exercise through anticipatory guidance at all well-child visits. With the high rates of obesity in the United States, having children consume foods that support reduced risk for obesity may translate into lower risks for obesity-related diseases in adulthood such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Starting this practice as early as possible will ensure the most benefit for these children and generations to come.”

Why AI and IoT will play a big role in retail of tomorrow
While e-commerce’s growth has accelerated by “four to six years” according to a recent report published by Adobe indicated that on the ground retailers are now embracing digital-first approaches in order to acclimate to the new norms of social distancing and minimized contact
By enlisting artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, the retail sector is implementing new approaches to enhance customer experience, drive sales, and, most importantly, ensure the safety of employees and retailers in stores
The pandemic has left irreversible changes within the retail industry as consumer behavior during a time of limited and regulated movement evolved. A PYMNTS 2020 Remote Payments Study reported that mobile devices are the most popular device for online shopping, with up to 72% of consumers using their mobile devices to shop.
The explosion of online shopping saw an increase of 146% in online retail orders as of April 21, 2020 when compared to the same period last year. While e-commerce’s growth has accelerated by “four to six years” according to a recent report published by Adobe indicated that on the ground retailers are now embracing digital-first approaches in order to acclimate to the new norms of social distancing and minimized contact. By enlisting artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, the retail sector is implementing new approaches to enhance customer experience, drive sales, and, most importantly, ensure the safety of employees and retailers in stores.
AI
AI applications can accommodate multiple retail scenarios; AI in the retail market is set to hit US$19.9 billion by 2027, with leading brands already placing AI in storefronts.
Luxury department store Neiman Marcus makes it easier for customers to find items through visual search. The company’s Snap.find.shop. app is powered by AI, and it enables customers to seek items that match closely with photos they’ve taken.
At Macy’s, customers can seek the assistance of the company’s On Call app for a better shopping experience. Macy’s On Call app is tailored with answers for specific stores. Customers can chat with an AI-backed bot for inventory checking and directions to navigate around the store. Interestingly, the AI bot is able to detect if a customer is getting frustrated and alert a store associate for help.
These projects were already well in place before the pandemic but will play a bigger role post-COVID, serving as an example for other retailers seeking to incorporate technology. These AI-inspired solutions are customer-centric and could potentially take over the role of store associates, which helps reduce the risks for retail employees at this time.
IoT
If AI solutions are adopted for enhanced services and to ease the burden of store personnel, IoT is then famed for their data-driven approaches to turbocharge core operations in retail.
Recently, Auchan Retail Portugal, with a network of 34 supermarkets and hypermarkets across the European country, announced it would deploy a fleet of autonomous robots for optimized shelf monitoring.
These autonomous robots will circle around the stores up to three times daily to capture photos of every shelf and aisle. The captured photos are then digitized at scale with computer vision and IoT, and then converted into reports with actionable insights for store staff to act upon. The reports delivered through a mobile app will boost store employees’ efficiency in managing, prioritizing, and resolving shelf issues.Andre Vieira, Digital Director at Auchan Retail Portugal, noted that “innovation, through the search for digital strategies, focused on people and improving customer service is one of Auchan’s great bets. With the introduction of autonomous robots, Auchan wants to improve productivity in stores, and optimize the supply chain, freeing employees to focus 100% on the mission of providing a better customer experience.”
Investing in precious metals you would be forgiven for putting a very heavy focus on the popular names in the sector. Trading in gold and silver obviously attracts much more attention in this area, mainly due to the general level of awareness that most people have around these very common market choices. There are other precious metals that are definitely worth investing in though. One of these which is often forgotten about by retail traders, is palladium. Despite the fact this precious metal has grown strongly in recent years, and has displayed gains of more than 1,000% since 2008, it is often left aside by investors focused on the higher volume gold and silver markets.
Here we will show you what the palladium market is all about, how you can get into trading this precious metal, and why it may be a great addition to your portfolio.
The Basics – What Drives Palladium Prices?
At the present time, palladium is trading higher than gold, with both at record high points. This has shone a light on both like never before. So, what are the main factors which have driven the prices of palladium to put them at higher levels even than gold? Here are a few major ones to consider:
Auto Industry Demand – This is by far the number one influence on the prices of palladium around the world. The auto industry accounts for around three quarters of the global demand for palladium. This is due to the fact that palladium is a key component in the manufacturing of catalytic converters. This, and particularly the demand for vehicles in large markets like the US and China have a huge bearing on the price of palladium.
Geopolitical Concerns – This factor can be active on a number of fronts for palladium and is something you should investigate prior to investing. Much of the world’s palladium supply comes from Russia, and South Africa. This accounts for about 80% of the total supply worldwide. With that said, any interruptions to this supply or process, be it in the form of sanctions as Russia sometimes deals with, or power supply problems, can cause a fluctuation in prices.
Substitution – Substituting palladium for other metals within the auto industry is something which is coming under and increasing amount of scrutiny. This is in large due to the high price of palladium, and also the fact that a number of substitutes, including platinum can be used. With that in mind though, platinum is not a direct substitute that can be easily used, so car makers are still largely reliant on palladium.
US Dollar Strength – The US Dollar forex market is going through a tough time currently. This weakening dollar can certainly have an impact on palladium prices as it does on other precious metals, though the reasoning behind it may be different. Palladium is typically purchased from suppliers in US Dollars. Any downward movement in the Dollar has potential to act as a disincentive top suppliers. This can reduce the supply of the precious metal which in turn can lead to an upward price movement.
Ways to Invest in Palladium
Now that you know several of the key drivers behind the price of palladium, it puts you in a good position to get involved in buying and trading the market. There are several ways in which you can do this much trading gold or silver markets. The main points which will vary here are the liquidity, and how closely the investment is tied to the palladium price.
The most direct way to get involved in trading palladium is to purchase palladium bullion directly from a reputed mint or other trustworthy supply source. This physical purchase of the metal typically takes the form of coins, collectable coins, or bars of the metal which can be purchased at different weights. Naturally, this is absolutely tied to the palladium market prices, though you should be mindful that a small premium is generally added by the seller, and this can be a substantially more difficult palladium investment to resell quickly if the price changes.
Palladium stocks are another popular way to get involved in trading the market. This means buying stocks in palladium related companies through your broker. They are typically very closely connected to the demand and price for palladium, though you also have to be careful to understand the key metrics of the individual company performance too. If you are looking for an even higher volume market, you may choose to trade palladium options or futures contracts. These can be higher risk, but are certainly the most liquid in terms of your ability to quickly trade palladium.
Finally, if you are seeking a very well-balanced way to invest in palladium, ETFs may be a good choice for you. There are essentially baskets of stocks which you can invest in at one collective price. Investing in a thematic ETF related to palladium will give you good exposure to many of the main players in the sector, and should also hedge your risk to a certain extent if the prices do fall. These ETFs can often pay a healthy dividend too.
Who Should Invest in Palladium?
Although palladium is now at a higher price point than gold, it is still very much an investment that any type of trader can make. Like other precious metal investments, it is something you can use to add great diversity to your portfolio. It is also becoming very accessible to all retail traders thanks to being on offer from many of the top online brokers.
Your investment in palladium really depends on your risk profile. This will determine which method of palladium investment may be most suitable for you. If you are willing to take more risk and can withstand a degree of volatility, you may consider options, or futures, while a more conservative approach would be an investment in ETFs or certain index funds. With the growth in demand and price though, it is clear that more and more traders are becoming aware of the potential within trading palladium as much as other precious metals.

Announced that Lyfted Farms Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) has opened two banking accounts with a local California credit union based in Modesto, California
Credit union has agreed to open accounts to service both the Lyfted Farms licensed cannabis commercial activity and a second account for the Higher Standard Apparel Co., which merchandises Lyfted Farms Brand apparel@.
Lyfted Farms payroll and payments to vendors will now be dispatched through conventional banking methods via the credit union account and will require less time and expense to process
Vancouver, British Columbia–(September 10, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) TransCanna announces that Lyfted Farms Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) has opened two banking accounts with a local California credit union based in Modesto, California.
The credit union has agreed to open accounts to service both the Lyfted Farms licensed cannabis commercial activity and a second account for the Higher Standard Apparel Co., which merchandises Lyfted Farms Brand apparel@.
The accounts are being opened to full-service all financial business needs after more than a year of due diligence on the part of the financial institution, including on-site visits to Lyfted Farms facilities, and will be operational by September 15th, 2020. Lyfted Farms payroll and payments to vendors will now be dispatched through conventional banking methods via the credit union account and will require less time and expense to process.
“We are pleased to be working with a local California based credit union as our financial services provider,” says Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO. “The organization has been servicing this community for decades and was founded by agricultural producers who, like us, live and work here, so we look forward to working with a respected organization that has the same level of appreciation for our market and our community as we do.”
Blink adds that the Federal prohibition on cannabis on the mainstream/non-credit union banking system has put a strain on legitimate businesses and that conducting large transactions in cash, as many licensed cannabis companies are forced to do, is a cumbersome and less secure process.
“Our growth is making banking a greater necessity with every passing day,” says Blink.”
The opening of the accounts represents historic firsts for both Lyfted Farms Inc., to have access to traditional banking services, and for a local California-based credit union to have a cannabis-based business client.
The Company further announces it has granted a total of 200,0000 incentive stock options to consultants involved in the development of the Company’s operations. The options are exercisable for a period of one year from the date of grant at an exercise price of $1.06 per common share in the capital of the Company.
The stock options are being granted pursuant to the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and are subject to regulatory approval.
About TransCanna Holdings Inc.
TransCanna Holdings Inc. is a California based, Canadian listed Company building cannabis-focused brands for the California lifestyle through its wholly-owned California subsidiaries.

Commenced COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), testing through its Sun Valley Health operations in Arizona, using RT-PCR test kits and laboratory test processing by Kai Medical Laboratory in Dallas, TX., the recently announced proposed acquisition target by Empower
programs are part of a “Back to Work” and “Back to School” initiative supported by a variety of outbound marketing campaigns including new Facebook ads, text message & email campaigns and outbound call-center campaigns targeting businesses, universities & colleges, sports teams or organizations where effective social distancing could be difficult.
VANCOUVER BC / September 10, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC.(CSE:CBDT)(Frankfurt:8EC)(OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) today announces it has commenced COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), testing through its Sun Valley Health operations in Arizona, using RT-PCR test kits and laboratory test processing by Kai Medical Laboratory in Dallas, TX., the recently announced proposed acquisition target by Empower.
The programs are part of a “Back to Work” and “Back to School” initiative supported by a variety of outbound marketing campaigns including new Facebook ads, text message & email campaigns and outbound call-center campaigns targeting businesses, universities & colleges, sports teams or organizations where effective social distancing could be difficult.
Currently Kai Medical Laboratory has the capacity to complete in excess of 2,000 RT-PCR tests in one eight-hour shift by utilizing its Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 12k Flex testing machine.
“Launching our RT-PCR testing programs utilizing the capability of Kai Medical Labs gives us the ability to access massive testing volume not only in Arizona, but nationwide in the U.S.” said Steven McAuley, Empower’s Chairman & CEO. “Our team at Sun Valley Health has created numerous strategic marketing campaigns to drive awareness and testing volume, leveraging our supply chain improvements with increased profit margins.”
Many schools and universities are now requiring students and teachers to provide RT-PCR testing results prior to returning to campus. Our nasal or throat swab RT-PCR testing program allow students and teachers to quickly be tested and receive results from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), accredited laboratory in only 24 – 48 hours.
Businesses need a stable workforce, and must be quick to isolate employees with any symptoms. Our RT-PCR testing allows employees to be tested quickly and receive results within 24 – 48 hours, giving the employee and the employer the opportunity to activate non-contagious employees and safely return to work!
Travelers are also discovering demands to get a RT-PCR test and provide the result upon check-in at the airport. The reports are required to be no more than 3 days old. Our testing program provides accurate results within 24-48 hours, giving the patient a document that can make the difference in being able to travel.
An RT-PCR assay is a viral molecular test to detect active infection directly in a patient’s RNA genetic sequence. An RT-PCR swab test is considered the gold-standard for testing & diagnosing active viral infections and should be used for anyone who has symptoms or known exposure to COVID-19. These tests are renowned for high sensitivity and high specificity.
(CLIA) The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments regulate laboratory testing and require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can accept human samples for diagnostic testing.
