Labcorp vs. Quest - Where you doing your bloods?

[TanGerino]

Been on cycle for 7 weeks and order my bloods from Private MD thanks to the sticky here. Got some wacky results (test dropped 200 points off 1ml of T400 split over 2 injections per week) I assumed were from some fake gear but the results don't make sense (LH at 0.6L) for there to be no exogenous test present.

Could be bunk gear - switched to UGL proven on this forum something mid-cycle anyway. This got me researching other threads with members discussing how unreliable Quest is, in general. I've seen tons of post with people using their Quest bloods.

Whats the consensus, here? Quest vs. Labcorp; worth the extra cost?

im wondering the same thing. im using this one source and they just tested their products and are within 1% error of wht they claim. yet i got my bloods taken at quest on a trt dose 180mg and it said 300 ng/dl

I’ve heard both bad things about quest and labcorp. Never used labcorp before because of the high cost. I order my own labs and the company uses quest. I see consistent multiplier’s on the same dosages with quest, Never had an issue.

But if you research you’ll find botched numbers from both companies. Best bet is to just make sure your source has consistent jano testing or test your gear yourself.

Whoever’s cheapest

I prefer labcorp but I use quest because they’re cheaper. It use to be the other way around before the pandemic. Quest is fine my results seem right.

Then I'll keep using Quest. Labcorps is prohibitively expensive but, if the consensus was that Quest was consistently wrong, I'd try them. Doesn't seem to be the case as indicated in other threads.

There's more to it than test accuracy. There's how far out they are booked for appointments. What the site looks like and how it's staffed. Once you arrive for your appointment how long you have to wait. And lastly, how good their phlebotomists are. So there's a reason Labcorps charges more. For blood work, people are willing to pay it.

Life extension tests go through lab Corp and I find them cheaper than privatemd so it’s a win-win for me.
