Frequently Asked Questions

Laboratory Operations and Compliance

What are your hours of operation? Do you report results on weekends and holidays?

Our laboratory operates 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays, ensuring that you receive your results promptly, no matter when your samples are submitted.

What makes D and D Laboratory different from other labs?

As a veteran-owned, ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, we bring a unique combination of discipline, integrity, and expertise to our work. Our focus on compliance, patient safety, and operational efficiency sets us apart in the industry.

What standards do your testing services comply with?

Our testing services are precisely aligned with the industry standards your clinic follows, such as ISO 23500 and AAMI RD62 for dialysis water quality, or AAMI ST108 for sterile processing water. Additionally, our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation underscores our commitment to delivering consistent and accurate results.

How does your turnaround time work from the time you receive the samples?

We process samples immediately upon receipt for the fastest turnaround. Typically:

LAL and 2-day Colony Counts: 2 days
7-day Colony Counts: 7 days
AAMI Water Panel: 1-2 days

Sample Collection and Shipping

How and how often should we collect our samples?

Follow your internal guidelines and manufacturer recommendations. Detailed instructions for laboratory sample collection are provided in our brochure included with your custom kit.

How do I order a sample collection kit?

You can request a customized sample collection kit by contacting us directly through our website or by calling our support team. Our kits are tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring straightforward and reliable sample collection.

What should we do if our samples are running late? Should we process them?

The decision to process late samples is at your discretion. Generally, if there was no bacteria present at the time of collection, the samples should still be viable when received.

What is the process for shipping samples on Fridays for Saturday delivery?

Use overnight Saturday-Delivery Express shipping and a special Saturday delivery label. If you use a regular FedEx label for samples shipped on Friday, they will not be received until Monday.

Supplies and Replenishment

How does the kit replenishment process work?

Our service automatically replenishes your sample collection kit with the precise supplies needed based on your clinic’s schedule and testing requirements. This ensures you never have to maintain an inventory of vials or other materials—we handle it all, so your kit is always ready for immediate use.

How can we order more supplies?
