How Do You Know This Laboratory Is What It Says It Is?

Molecular fluorescence imaging — Auspicious Laboratory, Houston

CLIA #45D2048957 · CAP #8722734. Both public. Both checkable. Go check.CLIA #45D2048957 · CAP #8722734 · Same-day results · Walk-ins welcome

You look it up. CLIA certification is federal law — administered by CMS, required of every laboratory testing human specimens, and searchable in a public database. CAP accreditation is voluntary, involves peer inspection against detailed checklists and mandatory proficiency testing, and is a higher bar than the legal minimum. We hold both, at the high-complexity level, which is what molecular PCR and LC-MS/MS require.

What high-complexity actually demands

The strictest CLIA personnel requirements, a qualified laboratory director, documented quality control on every run, and external proficiency testing in which a third party sends blinded specimens and grades the answers. See the analytical quality system for what that looks like day to day.

Same day, start to finish. Sample by 1:00 PM → results at 4:30 PM → if treatment is clinically appropriate, a licensed physician in our partner network sees you between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, a few minutes away. That window is reserved for patients tested here, and your slot is held the moment we take your sample — the slot is held, not hunted. On your own, a same-day appointment is nearly impossible; at an urgent care, you wait in the queue. STAT: ~2 hours, sample in by 3:00 PM.
