Specimen Analysis

NeuroLab employs the gold standard in urinary neurotransmitter testing. UHPLC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (MS) technology offers the highest level of sensitivity and specificity for neurotransmitters. This technology provides the highest and most accurate and reproducible results available to ensure practitioners have the lab numbers they need to make effective clinical decisions. 

To assure ongoing and continuous accuracy and quality control of results, NeuroLab partners with some of the world’s most respected third-party quality control and proficiency testing programs: 

  • External Quality Assurance Services® (EQAS)
  • The College of American Pathology (CAP) 
  • American Proficiency Institute 

NeuroLab® 1

NeuroLab’s proprietary Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) offers convenient, real-time access to patient results 24/7. NeuroLIMS is HIPAA secure and protects the patient’s personal health information while allowing healthcare providers easy access to test results.  

As NeuroLIMS evolves, this information management system will offer practitioners a dashboard of data specific to their patient populations.

Simple Collection Process

The simple, easy-to-use, in-home collection kit for urinary neurotransmitters and salivary hormones includes everything needed from the collection cup to a prepaid shipping label. NeuroLab’s proven collection system is an important first step in ensuring specimen integrity. 

When the patient completes the included quality-of-life survey, Sanesco’s Clinical Team combines this information with NeuroLab’s clinically relevant optimal ranges and produces for the clinician an individualized and personalized correlation analysis only available from NeuroLab – the most experienced team in the analysis of neurotransmitter testing. 

This simple collection process makes follow-up testing a breeze. Retesting is the easiest way for the clinician and patient to monitor and track progress. 

Check out the easy collection process.

Specialized testing

Focused on Neuroendocrine Health

Each patient’s neuroendocrine data is analyzed using proprietary algorithms. Results are then matched by Sanesco’s Clinical Support Department with clinical insight gained from the patient’s Quality of Life survey.

Analysis requires clinically relevant optimal ranges, which are only established over time. NeuroLab has run more than 100,000 neurotransmitter/hormone panels and, as the oldest neurotransmitter testing lab in the U.S., NeuroLab’s optimal ranges offer the most clinically relevant and complete neuroendocrine picture available in the industry. 

This personalized model has made Sanesco the global leader in neuroendocrine testing, using the latest evidence-based research and clinical tools.

Overview

One of our feel-good neurotransmitters; when it is deficient, we can suffer mood disorders, sleep issues and carb cravings.

 
Learn why and how to test serotonin levels
GABA

GABA

Inhibitory Neurotransmitter

Overview

The brain’s main inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA helps maintain a state of calm. It plays a key role in sleep.

Learn why and how to test GABA levels

 

Overview

Also known as “adrenaline,” it is the major fight-or-flight hormone, providing the body with what it needs to survive stressful situations.

Learn more about epinephrine’s role in health

 

Overview

In the brain, norepinephrine provides the ability to focus and concentrate, plus it can support drive and the mental energy needed to take action.

Learn why it is important to test norepinephrine

 

Dopamine

Dopamine

Excitatory Neurotransmitter

Overview

One of the feel-good neurotransmitters – it is responsible for the elated feeling experienced as a reward to stimuli.

Learn why and how to test dopamine levels

 

Overview

Glutamate is the brain’s main excitatory neurotransmitter, maintaining the alert and awake state. It also is involved in learning and memory.

PEA

PEA

Excitatory Neurotransmitter

Overview

PEA is considered the brain’s natural “upper” with mood-elevating effects

Learn more about PEA in focus and mood

 

Overview

Known as the stress hormone; it rises in response to stress. Cortisol also controls inflammation in the body.

Overview

Considered the body’s anti-aging hormone, DHEA-S levels tend to fall with age.

Overview

Testosterone is one of the main “male” hormones, providing a male’s sex characteristics and a man’s drive, ambition, libido, and positive outlook on life. Women have testosterone in much smaller amounts.

Overview

Progesterone is a female hormone that heavily influences pregnancy. It also serves to balance estrogens. Men also have progesterone, though in smaller quantity.

Overview

One of three types of estrogen, E1 is mostly expressed during and after menopause.

Overview

One of three types of estrogen, E2 is the most powerful estrogen, prominent during a woman’s cycling years.

Overview

One of three types of estrogen, E3 is considered the safest estrogen, naturally high during pregnancy.
