Emergency intake
After-hours events, suspected contamination, water or building incidents, industrial upsets and other time-sensitive testing needs.
24/7 urgent testing intake
Emergency and STAT laboratory testing when timing matters.
Tell 516Labs what happened, where the sample is, the matrix, the location and when a decision is needed. We rapidly structure the requirement, check qualified laboratory capacity and coordinate the pathway through the original laboratory report.
Urgent response workflow
Fast coordination without skipping technical qualification.
Rush availability depends on method, matrix, holding time, laboratory accreditation, receiving hours, location and current capacity. Coordination targets are not analytical turnaround guarantees.
Priority laboratory routing
Same-day scope review and accelerated capacity checks for analyses that may support rush processing.
Pickup and custody
Sealed sample transport, carrier custody, receiving coordination and chain-of-custody workflow where coverage and holding times permit.
Method and matrix review
Analytical method, sample matrix, containers, preservation, volume, detection limits and intended use are checked before routing.
One coordination point
Status visibility from request and pickup through laboratory receipt, analysis, exceptions and report delivery.
Original laboratory report
The identified performing laboratory remains responsible for analysis, quality controls and its original report.

Urgent request
Start with the facts you have.
Incomplete information is acceptable at intake. We identify the missing technical details before work is routed.
