Capt. Cole Anderson, chief, Microbiology, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, prepares a plate of COVID-19 specimens for testing with a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analyzer at LRMC’s Infectious Disease Laboratory, Feb. 10. Landstuhl Regional Medical Center recently surpassed 100,000 COVID-19 tests since its first test on March 6, 2020.
This week, as the largest U.S. military hospital outside the continental United States, LRMC surpassed 100,000 COVID-19 tests with a continued commitment toward diminishing the virus. This is evidenced by ongoing additions to its laboratory arsenal, such as the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration-authorized Rapid Antigen Tests, or RAT tests. Using a RAT test, patients can read their results directly from the testing card, similar to home pregnancy tests.
