Focused on quality
At Mayo Clinic Laboratories, test development is based on patient need and guided by quality management protocols modeled on standards and guidelines from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Our extensive test validation includes a breadth of specimens with rare abnormalities. Our laboratories are CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited, and we participate in U.S. and international proficiency programs.
Commitment to education
The exchange of knowledge is a founding principle of Mayo Clinic. In this tradition, we provide a wide range of educational offerings to help our clients increase understanding.
Enhanced patient outcomes
Mayo Clinic Laboratories is dedicated to the health and well-being of our patients, which means helping providers deliver care in their local settings through the utilization of our comprehensive subspecialty test menu. Our mission is grounded in our belief that the patient’s needs are paramount, and our clients receive access to:
“We treat all of the specimens we receive with the same high degree of care and quality, regardless of where the sample is coming from. We could be testing a sample from a patient that lives in Rochester, Minnesota, or from someone that lives halfway across the world.”

PACE / State of FL- Presentation Recording Coming Soon This webinar will delve into the latest ASCO guidelines for selection of germline genetic testing panels for cancer patients. Key topics include the importance of taking and recording a detailed family and personal history, selecting the appropriate genes for testing, and determining when and to whom germline testing should be offered. The session will also address the practical implications of the ASCO guidelines, such as balancing the potential benefits of broader gene panel testing with the risks associated with uncertain results. Additionally, participants will gain insights into the specific technical challenges associated with germline genetic testing in cancer care and risk management.
Hurricane Milton is approaching the west coast of Florida and is anticipated to make landfall Wednesday. We continue to monitor and track the situation with our logistics partners to minimize challenges.

Founded in 2017, Mayo Clinic's Advanced Diagnostics Laboratory is a visionary space. In 2021, the lab developed the Mayo Complete Solid Tumor Panel, a clinically validated assay that analyzes 515 genes using next-generation sequencing. This multiple test panel, the first of its kind at Mayo, aids in selecting targeted therapies, diagnosing tumor types, and predicting prognosis, significantly improving patient care.
Matthew J. Schultz, Ph.D., and Amy L. White, M.S., CGC, explain how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' unique urine assay (Mayo ID: SORD) screens for peripheral neuropathy arising from SORD gene variants. Although recently identified, SORD-related peripheral neuropathy is fairly common.
When Samantha Duke discovered she had breast cancer, she didn’t have to look far for support. Her mother Jane walked a similar path 16 years earlier. Inspired both by her mom and the strong network of healthcare physicians and professionals on her team, Samantha remained positive throughout her treatment and is committed to advancing research on breast cancer.
Unexpected events in the laboratory are an inevitability of the profession. The difference in whether it is manageable or chaotic comes down to the steps taken beforehand. By proactively preparing, you can drastically reduce the number of unknown variables to continue laboratory and outreach operations under less-than-ideal circumstances.
In this episode of “Lab Medicine Rounds,” Justin Kreuter, M.D., interviews Shannon Strader, a resident doctor in cellular therapy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, to discuss trailblazing new connections in medicine.
John Mills, Ph.D., and Divyanshu Dubey, M.B.B.S., explain how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' new test panel can distinguish among various potential causes of demyelinating neuropathies. Test results are important for managing these devastating autoimmune conditions.
