A Pasadena-based laboratory announced Tuesday that it is teaming with another Southern California company to bring its newly FDA approved 24-hour COVID-19 test to businesses as they work to reopen amid the ongoing pandemic.

OmniPathology received emergency FDA approval last month for its omni-COVID-19 assay polymerase chain reaction test.

It has now partnered with Los Angeles-based Total Testing Solutions, a medical testing and business consulting company, to make the new test available to businesses for the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 among returning employees, OmniPathology said in a written statement.

“As businesses start to reopen, many organizations are looking for efficient and fast testing options to allow them to safely bring employees back to work without risking the health of other workers and customers. Omni and TTS have joined forces to facilitate this process,” according to the statement.

OmniPathology and TTS planned to work with companies, schools, studios, sports franchises and more to provide on-site testing, the statement said. Samples are then sent to OmniPathology’s facility in Pasadena, where results can be returned within 24 hours.

OmniPathology Founder and CEO Dr. Mohammad Kamal said he was excited about the new partnership.

“Our fast turnaround time along with TTS’s efficient testing process offers a perfect combination for testing employees,” he said. “In addition to testing symptomatic cases, we still need to be proactive in coronavirus testing. Quick identification and isolation of positive cases are powerful tools in helping reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.”

TTS leadership said the team endeavor will allow a greater level of service to clients.

“Our initiative is to bring efficient and organized custom testing solutions to businesses that are trying to get back to work,” TTS Founder and CEO Lauren Trenkle said. “We specialize in custom COVID testing both on-site and off-site, depending on the company’s needs. Working with Omni has given us unparalleled turnaround time with extreme accuracy.”
