How We Operate
We run a lean and mean operation by keeping our costs low so we can offer efficient and highly-specialized services at a fraction of our competitors’ cost. One way we stay affordable is by bypassing the accreditation process that pumps up costs for labs and their customers. We offer the same validation and proof of accuracy, just without the price tag.
How We Test
Our top priority is delivering accurate analysis that better informs you about your samples. We supply proof of accuracy with every test by comparing
Proof of Accuracy

- Comparison to certified reference standards
- Calibration curve comparison
- Quality control check for all samples
- Customized reporting
- Options to suit your needs: Multi-point quantification, semi-quantitative calibration and two-tiered molecular identification
