Surface testing for Sars-CoV-2 can be a useful tool in a risk mitigation program to determine if the virus is present before and after cleaning. Ademix Environmental Laboratory currently offers air filter and surface swab test to ensure spaces are virus free. The testing is offered with a 24 - 48 hours turnaround time, but results can be expedited by request.
This self-adminitesting service provides a unique opportunity to assess the need for cleaning and to document whether cleaning is performed adequately. Preferred sampling areas include surfaces that are likely to be frequently touched, e.g. door handles stair railings, keyboards, phones, tables. In particular, indoor environments where infected people resided or visited may be of interest for testing before reopening, re-occupying or re-purposing. This testing service is only for testing on environ-mental surfaces (hands/gloves), and is not for clinical testing on human.
