About second tier testing

Second-tier testing options can be used to confirm the presence of a genetic disorder after an abnormal newborn screen result. Our testing menu pairs follow-up biochemical assays (such as enzyme analysis) with a multitude of genetic testing options to ensure that providers have both the tools that they need, along with the options that that they prefer, when treating and diagnosing biochemical and metabolic conditions.

    FAQs
  • What are the prices of the tests on your biochemical and metabolic testing menu?

    For pricing, please email Revvity Omics or call us at 1-866-354-2910.

  • What sample types do you accept?

    All biochemical assays, including the StepOne comprehensive biochemical profile, require a dried blood sample. For any of our genetic testing options, we can accept a variety of sample types, including: Saliva Swabs, Dried Blood Spots, Whole Blood, and Genomic DNA.

  • How do I collect a dried blood spot sample for the biochemical assays?

    Detailed directions on sample collection are included in each individual sample collection kit. Please go through our DBS sample collection guide for more information.

  • How do I know if I collect the sample correctly on a dried blood spot card?

    For a correctly collected sample, the blood should completely fill each circle on the Dried Blood Spot Card. Please go through our DBS sample collection guide for more information.

  • How long does it take to receive results from the tests on the biochemical and metabolic testing menu?

    The TAT can vary depending on the type of test selected. In general, the TATs are 3 days for most biochemical assays.
