Laboratories turn to laboratory services when outsourcing tasks and responsibilities that normally are handled in-house, such as billing, lab informatics, tests, or the distribution or implementation of lab systems. Laboratory services can provide labs with a more efficient, more effective, and less expensive alternative to existing scientific lab processes. Laboratory services providers support laboratories of all types and industries, from government labs to pharmaceutical companies, academic and scientific institutions, hospital-based labs, and more.
Only those laboratory services providers that partner with, or work as, the middleman between labs and health care entities and organizations appear in this category. Laboratory services providers that simply collect and run tests without necessarily providing consultative services to hospitals, clinics, and other types of care organizations will not appear in this category.
