How It Works
Upon receipt of your order, we will review records to assure the sample you receive has never been received by your lab or one of your network labs (a NELAC requirement).
If required and possible, we can ship your samples the same day by overnight priority service so that you’ll have them the next morning. PT Express may take up to 10 business days to ship.
Report your results back to us on the PT Express reporting forms that accompany your samples. A PT report will be generated for you within 48 hours. Upon request, your PT report can be submitted to one or multiple accreditation agencies at no additional charge.
