Lab Technician Brian Visniski checks the Foss 5000, the instrument used for somatic cell analysis.  ELS staff is trained in the maintenance and operation of the testing instruments.  This reduces equipment downtime and ensures your sample results are provided as quickly as possible.
 
     
 
foss1
  
 

This is one of the two Foss 6500 Combi machines, which are used to analyze components and somatic cells.  These machines allow ELS to process more than 4,000 samples each day for components.  Testing results are available the same day they are run by direct file transfer, fax, e-mail, or phone.
