Blood Chemistry
Comprehensive chemistry testing across metabolic, hepatic, renal, lipid, electrolyte, and endocrine markers. Clear reports with reference intervals and clinical flags support rapid decision-making.
Routine to advanced analytes
SDI Labs provides a broad chemistry menu calibrated to clinical guidelines and analyzer quality controls. Results include reference ranges, delta checks, and actionable flags.
*After specimen receipt.
Collection & handling

Frequently asked
Do chemistry panels require fasting?
Some do (e.g., lipid panel, fasting glucose). Follow the provider’s order and panel instructions.
What if the specimen is hemolyzed?
Hemolysis can impact certain analytes. SDI follows rejection/remark criteria and will note when recollection is recommended.
What is the typical turnaround?
Most chemistry results are reported within 24–72 hours after the specimen is received in the lab.
