We're a different kind of reference lab

A shared perspective

Mayo Clinic Laboratories isn’t just a reference lab. We’re also the diagnostic lab for a hospital, just like your lab. So we know the many benefits of keeping tests as close to patients as possible. We’ll help your lab maximize its capabilities by keeping tests in-house whenever it makes sense for you and your patients. And we’re here to help you answer the toughest clinical questions with access to the world’s most sophisticated test catalog and thousands of Mayo Clinic experts. That's why we're different from other reference labs — and we think it makes all the difference.

See how our laboratory operations team processes up to 40,000 patient specimens daily, delivering them safely to our laboratories for testing.
