GREENVILLE, SC August 18, 2020 – Premier Medical Laboratory Services (PMLS) announces today that they have been named one
of the Top Genetic Diagnostic Companies of 2020 by Healthcare Tech Outlook, a leading national
healthcare publication. The designation, earned by the Greenville, SC
laboratory, comes with recognition for their providing the most advanced
diagnostic testing solutions with accuracy and efficiency through employing the
latest in science and technology.
One of the
reasons PMLS was selected by the publication is that they are a highly complex
laboratory with various types of test offerings to address many medical
diagnostic needs. From COVID-19 PCR tests, antibody testing, pharmacogenomics,
advanced cardiovascular testing, and their women’s health & wellness and diabetes
panels, all of PMLS’ tests are performed under one roof with cutting-edge
laboratory equipment, providing a quick turnaround of results for physicians
and patients.
“We are honored
to be designated as a top genetic diagnostic company of 2020 by Healthcare Tech
Outlook,” said Kevin Murdock, Founder of Premier Medical Laboratory Services. “Our
team of scientists and laboratory personnel is continually focused on providing
the most advanced solutions to diagnostic testing demands, and to helping
physicians provide top-level care to their patients.”
Along with
titling PMLS a top genetic diagnostic company, Healthcare Tech Outlook noted
that Premier Medical Laboratory Services’ MDDiabeticPro panel includes the
revolutionary DIABETESpredict test, which is a first of its kind predictive genetic
test for type 2 diabetes developed in collaboration with world leading doctors
and scientists of Harvard and MIT. The DIABETESpredict test is expected to mark
a new era in diabetes prevention and care through evaluating the risk of the
disease onset by examining individual genetic profiles and is currently available
to the US through PMLS.
Along with their
MDDiabeticPro panel, the article also recognizes PMLS’ full respiratory pathogen
panel and GI panel, as well as their cardiovascular panel MDHeartPro, which
more accurately depicts a patient’s overall heart health than a standard lipid
panel that is often used by other laboratories. All of these testing services
are conducted at PMLS’s 40,000 sqft COLA and CLIA regulated laboratory in Greenville,
South Carolina alongside their recently added portfolio of COVID-19 related
tests.
By
employing the latest in laboratory equipment, added staff and a highly advanced
laboratory information management system, OnGen, PMLS has been able to expand
their testing capacity and add quality PCR and antibody testing for COVID-19 to
their diagnostic testing services. Additionally, the article explores how PMLS
has found solutions to overcome COVID-19 supply chain shortages in coordination
with their sister company, CPT Medical, who makes their own viral transport
media and specimen collection kits.
