Have you ever wondered what happens to a sample after it leaves your clinic? At Oceanside Diagnostics, we follow a meticulous, step-by-step process to ensure each sample is handled with the highest standards of care and accuracy.
It all starts with collection. We provide detailed guides and materials to help staff collect urine or oral fluid samples safely and efficiently. Chain-of-custody forms and barcoded containers ensure each sample is properly tracked from the start.
Once the sample is collected, it’s either picked up by our courier team (in Southern California) or shipped via FedEx using our pre-labeled kits. Our logistics process includes real-time tracking, so no sample is ever lost or delayed without notice.
At the lab, samples are checked for integrity, logged into our Laboratory Information System, and processed using advanced LC-MS/MS equipment. Every result is then reviewed by a physician to ensure clinical relevance and accuracy.
Finally, results are delivered securely through our HIPAA-compliant provider portal, typically within 24–48 hours. From beginning to end, our process is built to support your clinic with fast, reliable, and clinically sound toxicology data.
