Nice!

How can you interface with Quest diagnostics like this?

When you say that you are working to expand this to other locations what does this mean? Are you negotiating with other Quest labs?

The test is not approved by the FDA so why can they provide it?

Are you affiliated with the test provider or Quest in any way?




I believe that any doctor is able to order any Quest tests, like this one.

Quest doesn't do the analysis on this particular test - Quest and LabCorp both send them out to NMS Labs in PA who performs the lab work.


Correct


Laboratory developed tests (LDTs) don't require FDA approval. However, this test is specifically referenced in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine PFAS exposure report (sort of the go to document for PFAS exposure and management).

We have a doctor we work with and a Quest account.
