Sample arrival

When we receive samples, they are immediately logged into our customized laboratory information management system (mLIMS™) supporting traceability, assured sample quality and quick turnaround.

Sample storage

Samples are stored in carefully monitored, temperature-controlled freezers, backed by generators, until they are ready for processing in our labs.

Processing samples in a quality controlled environment

Our hyper-focus on quality control means that approximately 20 percent of received samples are reserved for quality control. Samples are processed in our labs that are ISO 9001:2015 certified for analytical and diagnostic testing of biological specimens, certified by CLIA and accredited by the College of American Pathologists for diagnostic testing on human specimens. Additionally, Metabolon has a New York State Department of Health Clinical Laboratory permit to perform certain clinical metabolomics testing.
