Not sure if your local laboratory can handle your test sample? Worry no more! Developed by the Department of Science and Technology IX (DOST-IX), the OneLab Platform allows customers to submit their samples to the nearest DOST laboratory to have them tested - even if that lab currently does not have the means to process the said sample.
This is possible through the OneLab Referral System, which basically takes you through a quick, 5-step process:
- Submit your sample to the nearest DOST lab
- The system is checked for a lab that can best process your request if the receiving lab cannot
- Your sample is sent to the appropriate lab
- The testing lab conducts that necessary tests or calibrations, then uploads the results to the receiving lab
- Claim your results personally or via email, regular mail or fax
Listed below are the most common samples DOST-IX receives and sends out for testing and calibration:
| Handled by DOST-IX RSTL | |
| Samples | Parameters |
| Pressure Gauge | Calibration for Pressure Gauge |
| Digital / Liquid-In-Glass Thermometer | Calibration for Thermometer |
| Water | Fecal Streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| Referred to other DOST Laboratories | |
| Waste Water | Zinc, Chromium, and Copper |
The DOST-IX's testing and calibrating capabilities however, are not limited to those stated above.
