The Lab
The test, the reading, and the lab are all ours.
OraPath runs its own CLIA- and COLA-accredited laboratory — IMMYLabs, in Norman, Oklahoma. The testing, the interpretation, and the clinical decision support all come from one operation, accountable to itself.
One operation, end to end.
Most molecular diagnostics pass the specimen through one set of hands and the report through another. OraPath kept it together on purpose. The testing, the interpretation, and the clinical decision support all come from the same operation — a deliberate choice, because it is how we keep quality, turnaround, and the science accountable to one another.
An accredited clinical laboratory.

How a sample becomes a result.
A saliva specimen is collected chairside in under two minutes and returned to the lab. Each test runs on validated, real-time qPCR DNA assays. Organism levels are reported on a consistent, semi-quantitative scale, and results are back in two business days from receipt.
- How detection is reported
- Semi-quantitative log₂ DL (DL = max(0, 40 − Ct))
The people behind the results.
The validation and quality systems that make every result something a clinician can rely on are run by our Laboratory Director and scientific team. The same people who build the assays stand behind what the report says.
