This is the current trend in some labs across the country. I know of one trying to gear up an antibody test regimen. It is not as simple as it sounds as a good deal of these tests are done by machines and they need be programmed to do what you want them to do and to do it almost precisely correct. They are still rolling out the first batch of swab testing now after something like 6 weeks development which was remarkable. No idea when this will be available for large scale use but it cannot be understated how important this is.
