Frequently Asked Questions: What is your average turnaround time? Most samples that arrive at our lab by 10:00 a.m. are run the same day and posted to your email address by 5:00 p.m. There is no additional cost to you for same day service. How do we pay? You can choose to set up an account with us and you can pay by check or credit card. What is the cost for running a sample? The cost for most samples is between $68 and $105 per analysis, depending on method and number of samples submitted. This is for full quantitative analysis with C of A's and complete data report. Prices vary, however, so please contact BiaDiagnostics directly for more information. Can you help us with HACCP implementation? Yes, we can visit your facility and recommend methods or changes to your HACCP to assist you in your compliance efforts. Do you run official methods? Yes. We either run AOAC or CODEX methods when available, and all methods are validated by us before use. Some matrixes are incompatible with the method used and may give false negative results. In our lab new matrixes are checked for method compatibility before results are reported back to a client. Who are your clients? Our clients include food manufacturers (large and small) that require label verification/certification. We have saved many companies from costly recalls as well as liability claims from consumers, by finding specific contaminants not listed in their label claim. We also work with kit manufacturers, regulators and universities supporting their needs for validation and consultations. Can you validate our in-house method? We can validate both your method and your matrix to be sure of compatibilty. We will run spike recovery studies on your matrix as well as repeatability, reproducibility, max-minimal levels, as well as other parameters as required. Can you teach our personnel how to run assays or help set up our lab? We do offer periodic workshops in our Burlington facility on HACCP and the basics as to how one can run specific assays. We can also visit your factory and set up demos for line workers or laboratory training for your personnel.
