Specializing in highly specific and sensitive endocrine testing services
We provide a unique service oriented to the distinct requirements of the practice of endocrinology. We are an industry leader in developing new, clinically relevant assays and establishing defined reference ranges for pediatric and adult patient populations. Our goal is to employ technology to provide useful clinical information—not just laboratory data—to positively impact patient care and the delivery of cost-effective medical treatment.
Storage for Repeat Testing
60-day frozen serum and plasma specimen storage allowing for add-on or repeat testing up to 2 months after the original blood draw date.
Multiple Specimen Protocols
Protocols to accommodate multiple specimens for stimulation testing and diagnostic profiles.
Preprocessing for Accuracy
Quantitative specimen volume analysis performed prior to testing to ensure sufficient specimen volume. Processes, including extraction, to purify specimens prior to testing.
Pediatric Testing
Pediatric volumes available for many common tests. Assays developed specifically to aid in the diagnosis of endocrine disorders common among pediatric patients. Some reference intervals are age-specific or by pubertal Tanner stages.
Specialized Methodology
Methodologies, such as HPLC/MS-MS, to measure low and abnormal hormone levels.
Scientific Experts
Direct access to scientific experts who specialize in endocrinology testing, with PhD-level scientists available to discuss assay methodologies and MD-level consultations available to discuss patient cases.
Comprehensive portfolio of thyroid test options
We offer test options and collection kits to assist with your thyroid disorder diagnosis and management. From hyper- and hypothyroidism to familial cancer testing, we have testing to get you the answers you need.
