Austin IVF is the only lab in the city that tests onsite for antibodies. Outside reference labs send specimens to an out of state lab. In order to do this, the specimens must be frozen, which can lead to inaccurate results. The additional time it takes for the out of state lab to receive the specimen may also decrease the accuracy of the test.
