What is the cost of meconium drug testing using Mectest?
Meconium drug testing using the Mectest Processor translates to about $4.30 – $6.45 per test, per drug plus the cost of the EMIT, FPIA or the RIA kits, depending on what method is employed. Needless to say, there is the added benefit of enabling hospitals to run the test within the confines of their laboratories. More than just the convenience of doing meconium drug testing in hospital laboratories, the Mectest kit allows hospital facilities to establish adequate control procedures and therefore, minimize the risk of contamination, loss or mixing of samples.
