About CRL

What is CRL?

Clinical Reference Laboratory (CRL) is a lab-centric company focused on specimen analysis for drug and wellness tests. While they offer reliable lab services across 45 states, their platform capabilities are limited compared to a full occupational health management solution. CRL's strength is in lab processing, but employers need more than just test results-they need scheduling, compliance tracking, and multi-service coordination.
