 Inline with Doctor's Lab results August 18, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have double checked my Doctor's Lab tests 4 times over the last 2 years and found the results to be within an acceptable range, not more that 5% difference between his Lab and Biosafe Lab.The only real difference was the cost, triple at the Doctors Lab!
Worked as advertised August 15, 2007

I found the kit easy to use and I got the results back within a week. The form does ask for your social security number but I just crossed that out and did not provide it. That's personal information that they don't need to know. This did not deter them from sending me my results. I will be ordering another one in about a month to do a retest to see if my efforts have lowered my initial results.
 Didn't work for me. August 13, 2007

Regrettably this test failed to even come close to a lab test my physician ordered the week prior. I was trying to match a baseline so I would have a reliable alternative to an office visit. The test from Biosafe came back 90 points lower on total cholesterol. I followed all instructions provided accurately. I suggest if you want to use this product that you first baseline it against a doctor ordered lab evaluation. As for me I continue my search.

This is a portion of a letter I recently sent to the Laboratory Director of Biosafe Lab concerning an apparent result error. To date, I have had no response.

Dear Dr. Roth:
I recently submitted on 4/2/07 a self-collected dry-blood sample for lipid testing and received back the following results in your report dated 4/13/07:
Cholesterol: 224 mg/dl
HDL Cholesterol: 99
LDL Cholesterol: 97
Triglycerides: 140
This is the third such testing performed on samples submitted by me within the last year by your laboratory. In addition, I have obtained three other sets of lipid test results from Quest Laboratories through my cardiologist's office:
Analyte mg/dl5/25/06 11/29/066/7/07
Total Chol 231 200 207
LDL 156 151 141
HDL 55 51 48
Triglycerides 100 91 89
Please note the recent HDL value of 99 mg/dl when compared with other results, including your own. This result seems in error, and may in fact be a maxed-out instrument reading. Your associated LDL result is a calculated value that would increase to 156 mg/dl if the average Quest result for HDL were substituted in the calculation. This LDL value is in line with previous LDL values from both Biosafe and Quest Lab, reinforcing the possibility of error in the HDL result.
***********************************************************************
I am a former supervisor of an industrial analytic laboratory, and have a lot of experience in testing and metrology. It seems apparent to me that the HDL reported by Biosafe is out of line, and causes additional error due to the calcuated nature of the LDL-c result. I expected a reasonable explanation and an offer to retest, but have no response at all over two months. This episode will end my use of Biosafe for any testing, since no further testing will be reliable to me.

I took 2 tests about 6 weeks apart. I got exactly the same levels on LDL and total choleterol on both tests even though I had been on cholesterol medication and a low cholesterol diet for that time period. I find these results very hard to believe!
