“Our collaborative care model is very important. When we develop a new test or technique, we rely on our clinicians to help us validate it. Without that collaboration, it is very difficult to develop precise testing.”

OUR DIFFERENCE

Comprehensive hormone testing
Diagnosing endocrine conditions presents a challenge due to the complexity of symptoms and overlapping phenotypes. Intricate, interrelated pathways of steroid hormones, including sex hormones and corticosteroids, need to be assessed to identify the root cause and best treatment for patients. Our robust testing menu enables differential diagnosis and follow-up.

Patient-focused approach
Optimized methods to ensure the highest sensitivity and specificity and minimal interference reference ranges for the right patient group including pediatric or Tanner stages.

Relentless innovation
