Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does mobile phlebotomy work for home visits?

    A certified phlebotomist travels to your home, office, or preferred location to collect blood samples using sterile equipment. The specimen is then transported to a laboratory for analysis. At MOBILE LAB TECHS, we offer 24/7 scheduling to accommodate your availability throughout Bergen County.
  • What's included in a DOT physical exam for drivers?

    A DOT physical includes vision and hearing tests, blood pressure screening, urinalysis, and a review of medical history to ensure commercial drivers meet federal safety standards. The exam determines whether a driver qualifies for medical certification required to operate commercial vehicles legally.
  • How long does DNA paternity testing take to get results?

    Most DNA paternity tests are processed within 3 to 5 business days once samples reach the laboratory. Results are typically delivered through a secure online portal. At MOBILE LAB TECHS, we provide accurate molecular diagnostic services with quick turnaround times for genetic analysis.

This service ensures compliance with legal and safety protocols while minimizing employee downtime. MOBILE LAB TECHS serves businesses throughout Teaneck and surrounding Bergen County areas.
  • What's the difference between pre-employment and workplace drug screening?

    Pre-employment screening occurs before hiring to assess a candidate's health and drug-free status, while workplace testing monitors current employees for ongoing compliance and safety. Both services include drug testing, physical exams, and health assessments tailored to employer requirements and legal standards.
  • What specimens can be collected for laboratory testing?

    Professional specimen collection includes blood draws, urine samples, saliva, and other biological samples depending on the diagnostic test required. Each sample is collected using sterile techniques and proper handling protocols. At MOBILE LAB TECHS, we ensure accurate collection for reliable medical diagnostics.
  • Do I need to prepare before a mobile blood draw?

    Preparation depends on the specific test ordered by your physician. Some blood tests require fasting for 8 to 12 hours, while others have no special requirements. When scheduling with MOBILE LAB TECHS, we'll provide clear instructions based on your laboratory order.
  • What medical exams are required for immigration applications?

    USCIS-required immigration medical exams include a physical examination, vaccination review and administration, tuberculosis screening, and blood tests for certain communicable diseases. The exam must be performed by a designated civil surgeon to meet visa and green card application requirements.
  • How quickly can I access my lab results online?

    Most laboratory test results are available through a secure online portal within 24 to 48 hours, though complex tests may take longer. The portal provides convenient access to diagnostic reports as soon as they're validated by the laboratory.
