Tour ARUP Laboratories		Founded in 1984 by University of Utah Department of Pathology faculty, ARUP Laboratories provides laboratory-testing services to clients in all 50 states and to over half of the nation's university teaching hospitals.
Location		Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, with over 2,300 employees, ARUP is the largest employer of medical laboratory professionals in Utah, providing a comprehensive clinical and anatomic test menu that includes more than 2,000 tests and test combinations, ranging from routine screening tests to highly esoteric molecular and genetic assays.
Parking/Transportation		Encouraging employees to use public transportation or bike to work, ARUP provides convenient on-site bike racks and shower facilities, as well as a free shuttle that runs from the Trax station and University Hospital to ARUP every 20 minutes. Employees who drive to work receive parking permits; free visitor parking is also available in designated parking spaces.
Secure Facilities		Employees are issued photo ID badges that allow for building access. Visitors are required to check in at the front desk and be accompanied by an employee while on-site. View visitor information.
Map		ARUP is located in University of Utah's Research Park area in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains.
Award-Winning Benefits Package		ARUP cares about its employees and provides a generous, award-winning benefits package. Nearly all the benefits start from day one, and most are extended toward the employee's registered domestic partner as well as his/her spouse and dependants.
Employee Health Clinic		ARUP offers a free on-site Employee Health Clinic, open Monday through Saturday, which provides routine screening and basic health care, including immunizations, illness diagnosis, referrals, minor surgical procedures, annual wellness check-ups, and free laboratory testing.
Wellness Center		The on-site Wellness Center, open 24/7, houses a gym with cardio equipment, weight machines, and free weights, and offers fitness classes several times per day.
Child-Care Facility		ARUP's on-site child-care facility accommodates approximately 70 children, ranging in age from 6 weeks to 5 years old; open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., the facility has six rooms where children can rest, play, read, and learn. ARUP subsidizes the monthly child-care fee, so parents save a significant amount of money as well as time by using the on-site center.
Café		ARUP houses an on-site café called the View, which overlooks the Wasatch mountains and Salt Lake Valley and provides healthy-meal discounts.
Education		ARUP offers generous tuition reimbursement for employees and dependents, including medical laboratory sciences (MT, MLT, and MS) and fellowship training programs. ARUP's employees can take advantage of continuing education (CME and CEU), research-in-progress talks, invited speakers, annual colloquium, and grand rounds.
ARUP Blood Services		A component of ARUP Laboratories, ARUP Blood Services is the sole blood provider to the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics, Huntsman Cancer Institute, Primary Children's Medical Center, and Shriners Hospital for Children.
State-of-the-Art Testing Laboratory		With over 140,000 sq ft of laboratory space, ARUP processes 25,000-30,000 specimens per day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is a CLIA- and CAP-certified high-complexity laboratory. Follow the tabs on the left to see ARUP's latest laboratory instrumentation as well as innovative systems for specimen handling and storage.
The LightCycler®		The LightCycler® 480, invented by Dr. Carl Wittwer, one of ARUP's medical directors, is a high throughput gene-quantification and genotyping real-time PCR platform used broadly in clinical diagnostics worldwide.
API 5000™		Used in the Mass Spectrometry Lab, the API 5000™ is today's most sensitive triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for small molecule analysis.
ETI-Max3000		ETI-Max3000 is a fully automated analyzer that can simultaneously load up to four microplates with separate worklists and process up to seven microplates in continuous loading.
TIGRIS®		The TIGRIS® system automates all phases of molecular diagnostics testing, including molecular antigen detection.
PATHOS		The Histology Laboratory at the University Hospital houses PATHOS, a fully automated microwave tissue processor that performs over 200 biopsies per hour.
Histology		The Histology Laboratory also utilizes the Arcturus™ Microdissection System, which provides flexible, modular laser-capture microdissection.
Machine Shop		ARUP’s machine shop makes customized instrumentation used in the laboratories; machines can be modified to fit specific needs, and new instruments are built according to custom specifications.
Specimen Transport & Sorting		ARUP is one of the most automated laboratories in the United States, featuring a 1,100-foot transport and sorting system with a capacity of 8,000 specimens per hour, and provides laboratory-testing services to clients in all 50 states and to over half of the nation's university teaching hospitals. See more about ARUP's Automation Initiatives.
Specimen Storage		Two automated sorters load finished specimens into storage trays and then into a two-story automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) housed in the world's largest clinical-laboratory freezer.
Specimen Thawing & Mixing		ARUP houses the world's first automated thawing and mixing workcell, which thaws and mixes frozen specimens on the transport system at a rate of more than 1,000 per hour, thus reducing pre-analytical preparation time. The Motoman thawing and mixing workcell put ARUP at the cutting-edge of automation, improving the overall quality of testing and reducing turnaround time. See more about ARUP's work with Motoman.
Cutting-Edge Research		With over 80 University of Utah Department of Pathology faculty members, ARUP is home to nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, subspecialty-qualified clinicians, and board-certified clinical scientists who author textbooks and journal articles, as well as present lectures, workshops, and symposia at regional, national, and international meetings. See a complete listing of ARUP publications.
Conference/Meeting Facilities		In partnership with the University of Utah's School of Medicine, ARUP Laboratories offers access to facilities for grand rounds, research-in-progress talks, invited speakers, continuing education (CME & CEU), and annual colloquiums.
