ChildLab offers a unique pediatric perspective formed by decades of specialization.

The lab originated in 1946 as a component of Children’s Hospital of Columbus, Ohio, to provide laboratory services to its physicians. But as our capabilities and experience grew, we saw both an opportunity and a responsibility to share our expertise on a wider scale. We are uniquely qualified to deliver the two things you want most from your reference laboratory—confidence and results.


Pediatric expertise is even more powerful when combined with excellent customer service.

Since 70 percent of all health care decisions are based on laboratory results, it is crucial for you to have confidence in the lab you choose for your patients. We'll work with you to develop a customized approach to meet the specific needs of you and your patients, including:

  • a comprehensive test menu
  • 24-hour access to medical and doctoral staff (pediatric pathologists, test processing and client service representatives)
  • online test ordering and results
  • direct courier services
  • customer service for your patients
  • convenient locations with ample parking and highway access
