There are several benefits to having an in-house laboratory. By having a technician process the specimen on-site, it gives our office increased control; as we have strict quality control standards in place. This also allows for a faster turn around time on test results; compared to those when using an outside laboratory.
Please Note- Turn around time for test results is an estimate only.
