Building a Healthier Future, Responsibly

At Spectrum MDX, we’re in the business of rapid results—but never at the expense of long-term impact.

As a provider of rapid health and drug testing solutions, we know that speed and accuracy matter. But so does sustainability. That’s why we’ve built environmental responsibility into our process from the ground up—because protecting health shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet.

One of the most exciting ways we’re living out that commitment is through Results+ (read more at resultsplus.io), our digital testing and results platform. With Results+, we’re giving our customers the tools to move toward a fully paper-free workflow—reducing not just physical waste, but also the time, storage, and administrative overhead that come with paper-based systems.

By digitizing the entire testing lifecycle—from test administration to results reporting—Results+ helps clinics, employers, and labs cut down on clutter and carbon. It’s a smarter, cleaner way to manage data, designed to align with the future of sustainable healthcare operations.

And this is just the beginning. As Results+ evolves, we’re continuing to explore ways it can help reduce environmental impact while making testing more intuitive, accessible, and compliant.

Our Sustainable Commitments

Sustainability at Spectrum MDX is more than just a side project—it’s part of how we operate and how we plan for the future. Here’s how we’re working toward a better balance between performance and planet:

  • Recyclable test kits
    All of our tests are made with recyclable materials wherever possible. We’ve chosen components that don’t just work reliably, but also reduce unnecessary waste. It’s a step toward circular solutions in a field that traditionally generates a lot of single-use plastic.
  • Paper-free possibilities
    We’re actively developing a software solution that helps our customers manage testing workflows digitally—no more clipboards, no more filing cabinets. This will allow clinics, labs, and organizations to streamline their reporting while cutting down on paper waste.
  • Purpose-driven process
    From sourcing to shipping, we’re always looking for ways to operate more efficiently and ethically. We prioritize suppliers who share our values and aim to reduce packaging and transportation waste wherever possible.

A Journey, Not a Checklist

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made—but we also know sustainability is an ongoing process. There’s no finish line. It’s about continuous improvement, listening to our customers, and innovating in ways that make a real difference.

As we grow, so does our responsibility. And we’re committed to making sure that growth happens with care—for our customers, our communities, and our planet.
