Ichor has the capabilities to facilitate physician, private, or corporate collections in the comfort of your home, or office at a time that is convenient for you.

Our Purpose
Our purpose is to offer Canadians safe, convenient and professional mobile lab services and COVID-19 testing while alleviating the workload from our distressed health care system due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thousands of Canadians delay or defer testing due to physical limitations, time constraints and accessibility. We believe that by providing access to expedited, on demand, in-home lab services, patients can get tested quickly so that appropriate treatments can be initiated in a timely manner. Through this, we are able to mitigate the risk of transmission at public testing facilities, broadening the bandwidth of our health care infrastructure and offering comfort, privacy and dignified care for those that need it.

Making a
Difference
Whether a physician has ordered testing or a patient proactively wants to confirm through private testing, Ichor offers seamless lab sample collection services at a
time and place most convenient to you.
Our technicians are equipped with all required protective equipment and adhere to health protocols to ensure safety and mitigation of exposure or transmission. The use of mobile lab services also enforces social distancing and reduces the probability of infection in a public lab environment.
We understand that everybody's circumstances and comfort levels are different. By collecting in the convenience of the patient's home, boundaries and privacy are maintained. Our technicians are also trained to facilitate collection with an outstanding bedside manner. Patient experience, privacy, and comfort are critical success factors
and are evaluated on an appointment by appointment basis.
Through the implementation of an On Demand, mobile lab service, we believe that we can help alleviate the burden on our extremely fatigued health care system (and front line workers) and provide broader access to collection services.
