Dr. Jack S. Remington Laboratory 

The Remington Lab for Specialty Diagnostics, a leader in toxoplasmosis research for over 50 years, develops innovative diagnostic tests.

The Remington Lab has been dedicated solely to the laboratory diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection and toxoplasmosis for over 50 years. 

If your doctor suspects you may be infected with toxoplasmosis, they may send a sample to the Dr. Jack S. Remington Laboratory for Specialty Diagnostics, formerly known as the Toxoplasma Serology Laboratory, for testing. The lab runs a number of proprietary tests to diagnose toxoplasmosis in patients referred by their healthcare provider.

Doctors at the laboratory also offer interpretation of test results and consult with clinicians worldwide on treatment and patient management. The lab’s tests on the blood of pregnant women with positive IgM antibodies — a sign of Toxoplasmosis — reported by other laboratories has helped rule out false positives and reduced medically unnecessary abortions by 50%.

This facility serves as the reference laboratory for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and have worked with these agencies to disseminate information to medical professionals and the public about toxoplasmosis and its diagnosis.
