If the specific test your request is one that we do not perform, we can research a location of a reference laboratory that performs the test and make all arrangements for the testing to be completed.

In addition to the test price, a shipping, handling and administrative fee for each specimen will be applied.

Note: We do not audit send-out laboratories; it is the client's responsibility to ensure that the send–out laboratory's compliance is consistent with the client's regulatory and quality requirements.

Please call to confirm pricing, species availability, specimen requirements, turnaround times and to discuss other tests not listed. Assays available subject to change.­­­
