Lab Partners Spotlight
Our lab partners employ the gold standard in urinary neurotransmitter testing. UHPLC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (MS) technology offers the highest level of sensitivity and specificity for measuring neurotransmitter activity. Salivary hormones are measured using ELISA. This technology provides highly accurate and reproducible results to ensure healthcare providers have the lab numbers and data to help to make effective clinical decisions.
Our lab partners have an extensive quality control program, including:
- 3rd party proficiency testing with External Quality Assurance Services® (EQAS), The College of American Pathology (CAP), and the American Proficiency Institute
- Blind samples testing with other labs and internally
- 2 levels of quality controls required with every test performed and on every day of testing
- QC values are analyzed using Levy Jennings charts and trends monitored
- Biannual COLA inspections verifying SOPs and guideline compliance
- Annual competency assessments of lab employees
- Quarterly self-inspections
The 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.
trusted & reliable laboratory partnerships
