The scientific validity of tests performed at The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc. can be found in clinical studies and professional research papers. Such resources provide evidence for the practitioner to support the principles of testing outside of routine lab work. The observational data gleamed from these and other peer-reviewed journals can help the practitioner to determine the most suitable tests and treatment options for patients. The information may also provide important conclusions about the significance of biomedical testing when filing appeals to insurance. For your convenience, this page is continually updated to include the most current and cutting edge research in the field.
