COVID Testing Available at Essentially Pure
Essentially Pure Cosmetic & Family
Dentistry, in Northbrook, is offering
the PCR nasal test and the advanced serology-based antibody testing for
COVID-19 for people that are required to take it before school, going to work
or being allowed to travel. The PCR indicates if someone actively has COVID at
the time of testing (for detection days 0 to 14 after infection).
The antibody test measures levels of IgM and IgG
for late- and end-phases of COVID to know if someone has had it, but it’s
either nearly or already gone. It’ll also tell if a person has never had it.
The turnaround time for both is 36 hours and as soon as the highly detailed and
specific saliva test with 10-minute turnaround is available, they’ll offer that
service as well.
Nasal test: $175;
Antibody test: $195; both together: $340 by appointment only in a highly safe
COVID-free office. Location: 1535 Lake Cook Rd., Ste. 108. For more information
