Tests and panels
Choose a panel when you know the question you need to answer. Choose individual tests when you already know the method or analyte. If you are unsure, describe what you need to establish and we will recommend the smallest useful scope.
Panels
Tests grouped around a decision
Panels reduce the number of choices by combining analyses that are commonly interpreted together. You can adjust the included tests before submitting the request. Every project is quoted before work begins.
Lipid Labs Omega-3 Quality Testing Package
10 determinations and 2 calculated values on one certificate — oxidation, EPA & DHA content and environmental contaminants, tested to the GOED Voluntary Monograph V8.1. Each result is reported against the GOED limit where the monograph sets one; elsewhere the reference applied is named, or the result is reported for information.- Oxidation (§A), EPA & DHA content (§C) and environmental contaminants (§B)
- 11-page certificate of analysis — 7 results against a GOED limit; the rest name the reference applied or are reported for information
- Accredited results carry the accreditation mark; every result names the method it was run to

Individual tests
Find the method or analyte you need
Search by test name, analyte, abbreviation or method code — try “DHA”, “anisidine” or “LAL-METH-03”. Filter by test family, and review the matrix, minimum sample, turnaround and accreditation status before adding a test to the request. If you would rather describe the problem than pick a method, tell us what you need to establish.
