McGee places a label on the viral transport media (test tube) that will hold the swab sample, which will then be transported to Keller Army Community Hospital for testing in the GeneXpert analyzer. Once the specimen is prepared and scanned, it is placed in the analyzer. Once in the GeneXpert, it takes about 50 minutes for the analyzer to provide a test result. The GeneXpert and PCR platforms look for a piece of RNA and if found, amplifies the strand so that the analyzer can determine if the specimen is positive or negative.
