Originally conceived in 2014 as a response to the challenge of initiating the harmonization of testing laboratories in the country, Department of Science and Technology’s OneLab Network has gone a long way from being a network of laboratories in the country to expanding its network abroad.

Short for One-stop Laboratory Services for Global Competitiveness, DOST OneLab is a network of testing and calibration laboratories aimed at ensuring availability and broadening public access to testing and calibration services at a single touchpoint through an IT-based platform.

OneLab uniquely facilitates the seamless laboratory transaction from sample receipt to release of test and calibration results as facilitated by the OneLab Referral System.
