Esoteric testing is the diagnosis, detection, or quantitation of rare analytes in a sample. These tests are offered by specialized laboratories equipped with sophisticated diagnostic instruments and reagents, such as reference & independent laboratories and hospital-based laboratories. Many large and medium-sized commercial laboratories, companies, and physician office laboratories outsource these complex tests to reference and independent laboratories. These laboratories are limited in number, and the tests offered are costlier than routine diagnostic tests.
