ESB Lab Tip

Need a Quick TAT on Your Sample Results?

Please notify your Project Manager ahead of time for any rush work you will be sending to the lab. Your PM will check lab availability and notify the staff to expect your samples. When you submit your samples to the lab, make sure you clearly indicate the requested turnaround time on your Chain of Custody as our Sample Receiving staff will log your samples into our system according to the turnaround time specified on the COC. If you have any questions about sending in samples with quick TAT, please contact your Project Manager.

Previous to her employment here, she worked as an Office Manager at a mechanic shop for two years and then attended the American River College in Sacramento specializing in Child Development.
