\nWith new CLIA certification, Flor\u00e9 Labs COVID-19 Stool Test identifies contagion risk following positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sun Genomics<\/u><\/a>, the direct-to-consumer custom probiotics and gut health company, announces the launch of its at-home Flor\u00e9 Labs COVID-19 Stool Test<\/u><\/a>, available this week, to identify whether an individual has viral shedding of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus and therefore risk long hauler symptoms or potentially contagious.<\/p>\n

New data, including that performed by Sun Genomics, show the Virus can be shed in stool for up to 28 days. This indicates that once infected, even a negative Virus test result does not guarantee one is not contagious.<\/p>\n

Sun Genomics\u2019 COVID-19 Assay, designed and optimized by the company\u2019s team of microbiologists, is performed using an RT-qPCR methodology approved by the Center for Disease Control. The analysis begins with an RNA extraction from one\u2019s stool sample using an in-house CLIA approved technique. Within the results, there are identifiable markers that allow for COVID-19 detection.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we head into the holidays and people take extra precautions before seeing loved ones, it\u2019s not only a question whether a person has tested negative for the Virus, but also to understand whether they may be a risk of COVID long hauler symptoms,\u201d said Sunny Jain, founder and CEO, Sun Genomics. \u201cThere have been significant advancements in the field of rapid testing of nasal passages and saliva, and they play an important role in flattening the curve and reducing the spread of the Virus. Our stool test for COVID-19 will play just as an important role for individuals who are looking to safely visit family, return to work or school, or reduce future side-effects.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the stool testing process for COVID-19 differs from our traditional gut microbiome analysis, we feel uniquely well-positioned to develop and commercialize this cutting edge test,\u201d said Philip Cotter, Ph.D., Regulatory, Commercialization, and Clinical Testing at Sun Genomics. \u201cThe CLIA lab certification was a critical step in making this test possible and we\u2019re keen to see the possibilities this accreditation brings to future opportunities at Sun Genomics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new test, which delivers results in three days, is available for purchase via Sun Genomics\u2019 website for $129, or $79 when bundled with the Flor\u00e9 Gut Test<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
