Respiratory Pathogen Panels
Comprehensive Detection
LUX Diagnostics specializes in comprehensive respiratory pathogen detection using molecular genetic testing.
Not all patients with symptoms suggestive of a respiratory infection require a Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP). Hospitalized patients or those with multiple infections or complications require an RPP for effective diagnosis.
LUX Diagnostics delivers accurate test results to help medical providers make informed treatment decisions. Our combination of testing capacity, state-of-the-art equipment, software integration, and speed increase effectiveness for healthcare providers.
RPP- LITE
Next day turnaround so you can treat your patients in a timely fashion and provide peace of mind.
The RPP-LITE panel offered at LUX Diagnostics tests for Flu (A/B), RSV, and COVID-19 in one simple test. RPP-LITE is performed by a nasopharyngeal swab and makes it easy for you practice to determine what is ailing your patient.


When to Screen for Respiratory Pathogens
Typically, providers do not use testing for low-risk patients because many respiratory issues resolve quickly without medical intervention. Yet, testing for respiratory pathogens benefits higher-risk patients, like those with a severe illness or increased risk of complications.
An RPP helps providers select the best form of treatment and avoid ineffective treatments, like prescribing an antibiotic for a virus. In that case, an antiviral medication may limit the length or severity of the illness. Proper treatment for respiratory infections improves outcomes.
