Our Process
A commitment to science is our main priority.
We take just as much pride in our scientists as we do our customers. Our CLIA-certified lab has more than 30 years of experience refining and optimizing its procedures to provide you with the most valuable information possible.
Our partner lab's rigorous, multi-step process employs automated technology, superior assay preparation and duplicate testing to ensure that we consistently deliver accurate results. In addition to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), our lab is also certified with the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA) to ensure all protocols exceed industry standards.
Our Techniques
Advanced Automation – Accuracy is of utmost importance to us, so we use automated systems—such as specimen barcoding and mechanical pipetting—to reduce human error and improve traceability.
Superior Assay Preparation – We confirm the quality of our antigens, regularly validate antibodies and calibrate our system with certified reference materials to make sure our assay preparation is as precise as possible.
Duplicate Testing – From repeating antibody assessments to double checking test results, our reiterative process ensures all of our tests are both accurate and reproducible.
Our Technology
We use an established immunological testing platform called Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) with advanced robotics and barcoding to detect the presence of specific antibodies or antigens in a patient’s blood. All of our IgG tests are run on the ELISA platform, allowing for a low specimen volume requirement that can be provided in the form of dried blood spots.
