What Ichor Offers

Blood Work

Schedule lab collection services for physician requisitioned lab work with Ichor. General blood work for physicals, pregnancy screening, STD testing, or other private tests can be completed without needing to visit a lab. Organizations can book specimen collections for multiple people eliminating scheduling-related delays.

Prenatal Screening

Arrange screening to identify any genetic disorders, diseases or abnormalities that might be present in your child's DNA. Harmony Prenatal Testing recognizes an increased risk of having a child with Down Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, Edward's Syndrome, or abnormalities in twins.

Samples can also be collected to determine the risk of complications caused by syphilis, hepatitis B, chickenpox, rubella, or HIV. In addition to screening diseases, blood type and red blood cell antibody screening is also provided to determine if the mother's cells or antibodies may target their child's cells.

Vitamin D Testing

With the use of Mayo Clinic Laboratories to conduct analysis of samples collected, Ichor can screen for vitamin D2 and D3 deficiency. 10-minute in-home vitamin D tests can increase protection against illness and lower your chances of suffering from a disease.
