Warde Medical Laboratory deliberately operates on a lower profit margin in order to reduce the cost of testing and fulfill its mission to improve the quality of healthcare. With this motive in mind, Warde Medical Laboratory considers it a plus to retain less of the profit so that you, our clients, pay less for quality testing and responsive service. While our principles benefit your business, you'll also reap the reward of the relationship Warde has with its non-profit counterpart, Michigan Co-Tenancy Laboratory (MCL).

Receipt of the sample at the laboratory continues the chain of custody. We recommend using the form and collection kit and procedure provided by Warde Medical Laboratory. In the WML chain of custody procedure, container and bag seals are adequate to secure the specimen, and the courier is not required to sign the chain of custody documentation since the courier did not have true possession of the sample.
