The 28,589-square-foot facility will double the company’s testing volume and process 240,000 PCR tests per day, SummerBio said Feb. 21. The new lab will also be able to operate at warm capacity — meaning it can quickly adapt to variation in test volumes — when fully operational in April 2022.

It will house eight PCR automation cells and consolidate the company’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments lab, engineering and robotics, and research and development under one roof.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
