Process

Sample Collection & Processing

An on-site user will complete and print the Prelude EDC lab submission form during the subject’s visit, package it with the subject’s samples, and ship the package off to IDEXX.
A tracking number can be entered on the lab form, which notifies IDEXX that the sample has been sent. This number is also available to check the shipping status.
IDEXX runs the prescribed diagnostic tests, and the results are posted into their laboratory information management system (LIMS).

Results & Review

Results are posted to Prelude EDC directly into the subject’s visit lab form.
An email notification is sent to your team members, alerting them that results have been posted.
Data points are automatically flagged normal or out-of-range.
A clinician can assess the results, indicating whether out-of-range results are clinically significant or not.
