More vitamin D testing machines on the way!

I thought that this headline was pretty exciting:

Mad Rush At Labs For Vitamin D Tests

That headline corroborates what we see locally. The lab that we use for our D testing has just installed their own machine to do their vitamin D testing in-house. (they use to send them to another lab) Our rep for the lab also told me that they’re planning on adding a second machine within the next month or so. I think that each machine is something like $100 K.

This also means that we’ll be getting the results faster now. It use to take about 5 business days, now they’ll be done in about 24 hours. All of this is really great to hear! The need for more vitamin D testing machines means that doctors are hearing the news and getting the message that it’s important to check their patients vitamin D levels.

That’s all for now,
Darcy
