Patient Test Solutions, Inc
We perform and report validated molecular PCR and sequencing. Clinicians and patients deal with this laboratory.
About us
The laboratory that runs the test also signs it.
Patient Test Solutions, Inc is a CLIA laboratory for molecular diagnostics and next-generation sequencing at 500 Mercury Drive, Sunnyvale. We share that office space with Atila BioSystems. Testing here exclusively uses their reagents, with quality support. Accounts, accession, and the report belong to this laboratory — not to a reagent company.
Three things to know
Three facts, kept separate on purpose.
One reagent source
Clinical work exclusively uses Atila BioSystems reagents, with quality support. That is a supply arrangement. It is not a joint laboratory and it is not a partnership.
500 Mercury Drive, Sunnyvale
We share the office space. Medical direction, quality release, and the signed report stay with Patient Test Solutions, Inc.
Science, development, and research
What we offer has already been validated here.
New laboratory-developed tests are built on this bench before they are listed. Research sits beside routine reporting so the menu grows from data generated in this laboratory.
Evidence first
Accuracy, precision, and intended use are demonstrated before a test is offered.
New tests, same bench
Laboratory-developed tests are designed and verified here before a clinician can order them.
What comes next
Method studies sit next to routine reporting, in this laboratory, rather than in a separate site.
MolDX and Z-codes
A listed test still has to be defended.
Many laboratories stop at the kit insert. When Medicare’s MolDX program asks for a technical assessment or a DEX Z-code, the file has to come from the laboratory that performs the test. We revise the method on this bench and assemble that file here. A listing on this website is not a coverage guarantee.
Change the method
Primers, workflow, and claims are revised in this laboratory until the test can be defended.
Build the file
Validation data is generated here so the laboratory-developed test stands on this laboratory’s file.
MolDX and Z-codes
We pursue MolDX technical assessment and DEX Z-codes when billing requires them. Approval is not promised by this page.
