Diagnostic testing company HealthTrackRx on Friday announced the opening of a high-throughput laboratory in Clarksville, IN, that will collaborate with UPS to provide patients with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results the morning after it collects samples for testing.

HealthTrackRx said that it has invested nearly $3.5 million in the facility. The firm aims to create 63 new full-time positions, and expects to expand its area footprint in response to demand.

The new facility complements operational hubs in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and greater Atlanta area, the company said.
