Still running your lab on spreadsheets?
The average veterinary diagnostic lab loses 4.2 hours per day to manual status updates, missed client notifications, and tab-switching between disconnected tools. That's 21 hours a week your team could spend on what actually matters.

Everything your lab actually needs.
Built with veterinary diagnostic labs — not adapted from generic SaaS. Every feature exists because a lab manager asked for it.
Specimen Accessioning

Supports bulk accession for high-volume labs. Auto-assigns pathologist based on case type and availability.
Automated Client Notifications
Clinics get SMS and email alerts the moment a status changes — received, processing, reviewed, reported. Zero manual follow-up calls.
Customizable notification templates per clinic. Average 94% client satisfaction on notification timeliness.
QC Dashboards
Real-time quality control metrics: rejection rates, turnaround outliers, and pathologist workload. Spot a bottleneck before it becomes a backlog.
Set TAT thresholds per test type. Automatic escalation alerts when SLAs are at risk.
Native Integrations
Connect your existing practice management software in minutes. Specimen speaks fluent Cornerstone, IDEXX, AVImark, and ezyVet — no middleware required.
From the Labs
Labs that switched don't go back.
"We processed 340 specimens last Monday and not a single clinic called to chase a result. Specimen's automated notifications cut our inbound calls by 78% in the first month. I didn't think that was possible."
Dr. Renata Kowalski
Lab Director · Great Lakes Veterinary Diagnostics
"I used to toggle between our LIMS, three spreadsheets, and an email thread just to answer 'where's my cytology?' Now I have one screen that answers every question before anyone asks it."
Marcus Oduya
Senior Veterinary Pathologist · Cascade Animal Diagnostic Lab
"Managing 22 clinic accounts used to mean 22 different check-in calls every morning. The network TAT dashboard shows me every location's performance in real time. My Monday mornings are unrecognizable."
