Yes. But what equipment and supplies does the "clinical lab" require?
I think you may be underestimating the technical complexity & difficulty of the task. You initially claimed "any hospital" can do it (without the kit). You haven't produced any evidence of this. And I suspect if it were that easy, every hospital would be doing it! No?
My link is from the University of California, San Francisco's hospital. It claims clinical laboratories are authorized to employ FDA approved diagnostics under the Emergency Act. Whatever those requirements may be, the University of California San Fran claims they can do it. To my reading, any clinical laboratory is capable.
Hospitals are testing without kits all over the country. Not every positive test was a kit.
