[QUOTE="XXY47, post: 183252, member: 41054"] [USER=13851]@madman[/USER] I emailed DynaLife Medical labs in Edmonton and asked if they could prepare the gambit of tests you had recommended within this thread. And they responded by saying they could prepare those tests and all they required was a doctor to request them. This is specifically what she said: Dear Cameron, Good morning. We do the run all the tests here at DynaLIFE if the Physician orders them. However, For the last two or three tests TT = total testosterone and FT = free testosterone or estradiol we do measure these analytes by alternative methodologies (immunoassay in our case) and not LC/MS-MS. It should be noted that, while LC/MS-Ms may be more sensitive, most testosterone immunoassays compare well with LC/MS-MS. The issue might be at low levels of testosterone where LC/MS-MS is a more sensitive and specific methodology. We do take part in CAP proficiency testing and our methods align well with other laboratories both in Canada and the United states. Furthermore, currently in Canada, most medical laboratories use immunoassay for measurement of these analytes. We will require a physician's order request (requisition) to collect and run these tests. Sincerely, Kate Fawcett Client Relations Specialist/Privacy Advisor, Client Relations and Privacy P 780.451.3702 ext. 8183 TF 1.800.661.9876 DynaLIFE Medical Labs #200, 10150 102 Street Edmonton AB T5J 5E2 [URL='http://dynalife.ca/']dynalife.ca[/URL] [/QUOTE]
