Diagnostic Capacity Proven Under Pressure

During the COVID-19 pandemic, B&L supported human COVID testing when testing capacity was limited across the West Coast.

Although B&L is a veterinary diagnostic laboratory, its specialized testing equipment made it one of the only laboratories on the West Coast able to process COVID tests at scale.

Practice Workflow Support

Built for the Way Practices Actually Work

Diagnostic testing affects more than the lab result. It touches ordering, specimen handling, pickup, shipping, result delivery, billing, staff routines, and follow-up questions.

B&L supports those workflows with PIMS integrations, local courier service, out-of-state shipping support, shipping label requests, customizable panels, and human support when questions come up.

  • Electronic ordering and results through PIMS systems
  • Local courier service and out-of-state shipping support
  • Customizable panels for case-based testing
  • Specialist consultation for cases that need a second look
