Monkeypox testing with results in 24 hours

We are excited to announce that US BioTek will now be offering Monkeypox testing to all of our providers based in the United States. With the launch of this test, we will be providing a faster way for individuals to know their Monkeypox infection status.

“As we have seen in recent years, quantifying our viral statuses as quickly as possible can have huge impacts on our personal and public health,” says Jack Frausing, Chief Executive Officer at US BioTek Laboratories. "At US BioTek, we strive to offer our customers the testing they need to improve the lives of their patients. In the case of Monkeypox, we are doing so by offering test results in less than 24 hours.”
