QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INCORPORATED The Company We are the nations leading provider of diagnostic testing, information and services, providing insights that enable physicians and other healthcare professionals to make decisions to improve
health. We offer patients and physicians the broadest access to diagnostic laboratory services through our nationwide network of laboratories and our own patient service centers. We provide
interpretive consultation through the largest medical and scientific staff in the industry, with approximately 900 M.D.s and Ph.D.s around the country. We are the leading provider of esoteric testing,
including gene-based testing, the leading provider of anatomic pathology services, including dermatopathology, and the leading provider of testing for drugs of abuse. We are also a leading provider of
testing for clinical trials and risk assessment services for the life insurance industry. We empower healthcare organizations and clinicians with state-of-the-art information technology solutions that can
improve patient care and medical practice. During 2006, we generated net revenues of $6.3 billion and processed approximately 151 million requisitions for testing. Each requisition form accompanies a patient specimen, indicating the tests to ii
be performed and the party to be billed for the tests. Our customers include patients, physicians, hospitals, employers, governmental institutions and other commercial clinical laboratories. On May 31,
2007, we acquired AmeriPath Group Holdings, Inc., the ultimate parent of AmeriPath, Inc., which generated net revenues of $752 million during 2006. We operate a nationwide network of greater than 2,100 of our own patient service centers, principal clinical laboratories located in more than 30 major metropolitan areas throughout the United
States and approximately 150 smaller rapid response laboratories (including, in each case, facilities operated at our joint ventures). We provide full esoteric testing services, including gene-based
testing, on both coasts through our Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute laboratory facilities, located in San Juan Capistrano, California and Chantilly, Virginia, and through our Specialty Laboratories
facility located in Valencia, California, as well as infectious and immunologic disease testing through our Focus Diagnostics laboratory facility, located in Cypress, California. Our AmeriPath subsidiary
operates 40 outpatient anatomic pathology laboratories and provides inpatient anatomic pathology and medical director services for approximately 200 hospitals throughout the country. We also have
laboratory facilities in Mexico City, Mexico, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Heston, England. We are a Delaware corporation. We are the successor to MetPath Inc., a New York corporation that was organized in 1967. From 1982 to 1996, we were a subsidiary of Corning Incorporated, or
Corning. On December 31, 1996, Corning distributed all of the outstanding shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Corning. In August 1999, we completed the acquisition of SmithKline
Beecham Clinical Laboratories, Inc., or SBCL, which operated the clinical laboratory business of SmithKline Beecham plc, or SmithKline Beecham. Our principal executive offices are located at 1290 Wall Street West, Lyndhurst, New Jersey 07071, telephone number: (201) 393-5000. WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any reports, statements or other information we file with the SEC at
its public reference rooms at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. Our filings are also available

offices of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005. Our subsidiary guarantors do not file separate financial statements with the SEC and do not independently publish their financial statements. Instead, our subsidiary guarantors financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows are consolidated into our financial statements. Summarized financial information illustrating our subsidiary guarantors financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows, on a combined basis, is disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as noted below. The
summarized financial information does not include the subsidiaries recently acquired in our acquisition of AmeriPath Group Holdings, Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations
(201) 393-5000
Some statements and disclosures in this prospectus, or any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein or therein by reference are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as may, believe, will, expect, project,
estimate, anticipate, plan or continue. These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could
significantly cause our plans and expectations, including actual results, to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the Litigation
Reform Act, provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation. We would like to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Litigation Reform Act in connection with the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this
document. Investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented or incorporated by reference in this document. The following
important factors could cause our actual financial results to differ materially from those projected, forecasted or estimated by us in forward-looking statements: (a) Heightened competition, including increased pricing pressure, competition from hospitals, and competition from physicians. (b) Impact of changes in payer mix, including any shift from fee-for-service to capitated fee arrangements. (c) Adverse actions by government or other third-party payers, including unilateral reduction of fee schedules payable to us, competitive bidding, an increase in the practice of negotiating for
exclusive arrangements that involve aggressively priced capitated or fee for service payments by healthcare insurers or other payers and threats by third-party payers against physicians and
patients that effectively eliminate their choice to use an out-of-network provider under preferred provider organization and similar plans. (d) The impact upon our testing volume and collected revenue or general or administrative expenses resulting from our compliance with Medicare and Medicaid administrative policies and
requirements of third-party payers. These include: (1) the requirements of Medicare carriers to provide diagnosis codes for many commonly ordered tests and the possibility that third-party payers will increasingly adopt similar
requirements; (2) the policy of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to limit Medicare reimbursement for tests contained in automated chemistry panels to the amount that would have been
paid if only the covered tests, determined on the basis of demonstrable medical necessity, had been ordered; (3) continued inconsistent practices among the different local carriers administering Medicare; (4) inability to obtain from patients an advance beneficiary notice form for tests that cannot be billed without prior receipt of the form; (5) the potential need to monitor charges and lower certain fees to Medicare to comply with the Office of the Inspector Generals proposed rule pertaining to exclusion of providers for
submitting claims to Medicare containing charges that are substantially in excess of the providers usual charges; and (6) increased challenges in operating as a non-contracted provider with respect to healthcare insurers. (e) Adverse results from pending or future government investigations, lawsuits or private actions. These include, in particular, significant monetary damages, loss or suspension of 1
licenses, and/or suspension or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and/or criminal penalties. (f) Failure to efficiently integrate acquired businesses and to manage the costs related to any such integration, or to retain key technical, medical and management personnel. (g) Inability to obtain professional liability or other insurance coverage or a material increase in premiums for such coverage or reserves for self-insurance. (h) Denial of certification under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, or denial of other licenses for any of our clinical laboratories under the CLIA
standards, revocation or suspension of the right to bill the Medicare and Medicaid programs or other adverse regulatory actions by federal, state and local agencies. (i) Changes in federal, state or local laws or regulations, including changes that result in new or increased federal or state regulation of commercial clinical laboratories, including regulation
by the Food and Drug Administration. (j) Inability to achieve expected benefits from our acquisitions of other businesses. (k) Inability to achieve additional benefits from our Six Sigma and standardization initiatives. (l) Adverse publicity and news coverage about the clinical laboratory industry or us. (m) Computer or other IT system failures that affect our ability to perform tests, report test results or properly bill customers, including potential failures resulting from the standardization of
our IT systems and other system conversions, telecommunications failures, malicious human acts (such as electronic break-ins or computer viruses) or natural disasters. (n) Development of technologies that substantially alter the practice of laboratory medicine, including technology changes that lead to the development of more cost-effective tests such as (1)
point-of-care tests that can be performed by physicians in their offices, (2) esoteric tests that can be performed by hospitals in their own laboratories or (3) home testing that can be carried out
without requiring the services of clinical laboratories. (o) Issuance of patents or other property rights to our competitors or others that could prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to develop, perform or sell our tests or operate our
business. (p) Development of tests by our competitors or others which we may not be able to license, or usage of our technology or similar technologies or our trade secrets by competitors, any of
which could negatively affect our competitive position. (q) Regulatory delay or inability to commercialize newly licensed tests or technologies or to obtain appropriate reimbursements for such tests. (r) Inability to obtain or maintain adequate patent and other proprietary rights protections of our products and services or to successfully enforce our proprietary rights. (s) Impact of any national healthcare information network and the adoption of standards for health information technology interoperability that are incompatible with existing software and
hardware infrastructure requiring widespread replacement of systems and/or software. (t) The impact of the privacy regulations, security regulations and standards for electronic transactions regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 and any applicable state laws or regulations. (u) Inability to promptly or properly bill for our services or to obtain appropriate payments for services that we do bill. (v) Changes in interest rates and changes in our credit ratings from Standard & Poors Rating Services and Moodys Investor Services causing an unfavorable impact on our cost of and access
to capital. (w) Inability to hire and retain qualified personnel or the loss of the services of one or more of our key senior management personnel. (x) Terrorist and other criminal activities, hurricanes, earthquakes or other natural disasters, which could affect our customers, transportation or systems, or our facilities, and for which
insurance may not adequately reimburse us. 2
Except as may be described otherwise in a prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, we will add the net proceeds from the sale of the securities under this prospectus to our general funds
and will use them for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions or reducing or refinancing indebtedness. 3
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES Set forth below is information concerning the historical ratio of earnings to fixed charges for Quest Diagnostics. This ratio shows the extent to which our business generates enough earnings after
the payment of all expenses other than interest to make required interest payments on our debt. For this purpose, earnings consist of pretax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and one-third of rental expense, representing that
portion of rental expense we deemed representative of an appropriate interest factor.

Overview This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC utilizing a shelf registration process. Under this shelf process, we may sell our senior debt securities, or guarantees
of our debt securities, in one or more offerings. The terms of the securities will be determined at the time of offering. We will refer to the debt securities and the guarantees of the debt securities or any combination of those securities, proposed to be sold under this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
supplement or pricing supplement as the securities. Because we are a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we may add to and offer additional securities including secondary securities and
guarantees of securities by filing a prospectus supplement or term sheet with the SEC at the time of the offer. Prospectus Supplement or Pricing Supplement This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement or pricing supplement that will
contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement or pricing supplement may also add to or change information contained in this prospectus. If so, the
prospectus supplement or pricing supplement should be read as superseding this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or pricing supplement together with
additional information described under the heading Where You Can Find More Information. The prospectus supplement or pricing supplement to be provided with this prospectus will describe the terms of any securities that we offer and any initial offering price to the public in that
offering, the purchase price and net proceeds that we will receive and the other specific terms related to our offering of the securities. For more details on the terms of the securities, you should read
the exhibits filed with or incorporated by reference in our registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. 5
DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES We may issue senior debt securities from time to time in one or more distinct series. We may also issue guarantees of our senior debt securities from time to time. As required by U.S. federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the senior debt securities will be governed by a document called an indenture. An indenture is a
contract between us and a financial institution, in this case, The Bank of New York, acting as trustee on your behalf, or other trustee we may select. The indenture will be subject to and governed by
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. We have filed the indenture as an exhibit to our Securities Act filings and Exchange Act reports that we have filed with the SEC. See Where You Can Find More Information for information
on how to obtain a copy of the indenture. The senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of June 27, 2001 as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of June 27, 2001, each among Quest
Diagnostics, as issuer, the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, as guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as further supplemented by a second supplemental indenture, dated as of November 26,
2001, among Quest Diagnostics, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as further supplemented by a third supplemental indenture, dated as of April 4, 2002, among Quest
Diagnostics, the additional Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as further supplemented by a fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 19, 2003, among Quest Diagnostics, the
additional Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as further supplemented by a fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of April 16, 2004, among Quest Diagnostics, the additional
Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as further supplemented by a sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 31, 2005, among Quest Diagnostics, the additional Subsidiary
Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as further supplemented by a seventh supplemental indenture, dated as of November 21, 2005, among Quest Diagnostics, the additional Subsidiary
Guarantors and The Bank of New York and as further supplemented by an eighth supplemental indenture, dated as of July 31, 2006, among Quest Diagnostics, the additional Subsidiary Guarantors
and The Bank of New York and as further supplemented by the ninth supplemental indenture dated September 30, 2006, among Quest Diagnostics, the additional Subsidiary Guarantors and The
Bank of New York (collectively, the Indenture). The Indenture for the senior debt securities may also be modified by future supplemental indentures. The terms of the senior debt securities include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. A copy of the Indenture is available for inspection at the office of the trustee. 6
AND GUARANTEES OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES
We may sell the securities to or through agents or underwriters or directly to one or more purchasers. By Agents We may use agents to sell the securities. The agents will agree to use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of the period of their appointment. By Underwriters We may sell the securities to underwriters. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying
prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. Each underwriter will be obligated to purchase all the
securities allocated to it under the underwriting agreement. The underwriters may change any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions they give to dealers.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Pursuant to authority conferred by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), Paragraph 11 of our certificate of incorporation (the Certificate) eliminates the personal liability of directors to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, including, without limitation, directors serving on committees of our board of directors. Directors remain liable for (1) any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) any act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) any violation of Section 174 of the DGCL, which proscribes the payment of dividends and stock purchases or redemptions under certain circumstances, and (4) any transaction from which directors derive an improper personal benefit.
Indemnification and Insurance
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, which provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under certain circumstances, Paragraph 11 of the Certificate grants our directors and officers a right to indemnification for all expenses, liabilities and losses relating to civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings to which they are a party (1) by reason of the fact that they are or were our directors or officers or (2) by reason of the fact that, while they are or were our directors or officers, they are or were serving at our request as directors or officers of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise.
Paragraph 11 of the Certificate further provides for the mandatory advancement of expenses incurred by officers and directors in defending such proceedings in advance of their final disposition upon delivery to us by the indemnitee of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under Paragraph 11. We may not indemnify or make advance payments to any person in connection with proceedings initiated against us by such person without the authorization of our board of directors.
In addition, Paragraph 11 of the Certificate provides that directors and officers therein described shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, or any successor provisions or amendments thereunder.
In the event that any such successor provisions or amendments provide indemnification rights broader than permitted prior thereto, Paragraph 11 of the Certificate allows such broader indemnification rights to apply retroactively with respect to any predating alleged action or inaction and also allows the indemnification to continue after an indemnitee has ceased to be our director or officer and to inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators.
II-1
Paragraph 11 of the Certificate further provides that the right to indemnification is not exclusive of any other right that any indemnitee may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, the
Certificate, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and allows us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person whom the corporation has the power to
indemnify under the DGCL or otherwise. Each of the form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibits 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 hereto will provide for the indemnification of the registrant, its controlling persons, its directors and certain of
its officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors and officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. The Certificate authorizes us to purchase insurance for our directors and officers and persons who serve at our request as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred in such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such persons against such expense
or liability under the DGCL. We intend to maintain insurance coverage of our officers and directors as well as insurance coverage to reimburse us for potential costs of our corporate indemnification
of directors and officers. Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules. The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated by reference. Item 17. Undertakings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of senior debt securities offered (if the total dollar value of senior debt securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement,
or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement; II-2
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the senior debt securities offered therein, and the offering of such senior debt securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the senior debt securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; (4) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: (A) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part
of and included in the registration statement; and (B) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made
pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the registration statement as of the earlier date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of senior debt securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new
effective date of the registration statement relating to the senior debt securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such senior debt
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; (5) that, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the senior debt securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of senior debt securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to
sell the senior debt securities to the purchaser, if the senior debt securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant
will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such senior debt securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned registrant or its senior debt securities provided by
or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in II-3
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the senior debt securities offered therein, and the offering of such senior debt securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth in
response to Item 15, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the senior debt securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture
Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act. II-4
