Six steps, each logged against your reference so you can follow it on the tracker.
6:42am
A phlebotomist in a Helix uniform checks your name and date of birth, then labels each tube in front of you.
6:50am
Tubes go into a sealed cool box with a temperature logger. The box never sits in the sun or a hot boot.
8:05am
Barcodes scanned, sample quality checked, and anything unsuitable flagged so we can call you the same morning.
8:30am
Runs alongside the morning quality controls. If a control fails, nothing is reported until it passes.
2:40pm
A licensed medical laboratory scientist checks every result before it leaves the lab.
By 6pm
A secure link by SMS and email, and a copy to your doctor if you asked. We call you or your doctor about any critical result.
We are careful about one thing above all: a number on a report is only as good as the sample that made it. So we obsess over the first ten minutes at your door.

The phlebotomist came at 6:45, was gentle with my mother and was gone in ten minutes. The results were on my phone that evening.
I liked seeing the price of every test before booking. No surprises at the end.
Our HMO code went in at booking and nothing was asked at the door.
