Pacific Biolabs was used to perform a sterilization validation when my usual vendor was backed up. Pacific was a little more expensive, but they performed the same services and were able to utilize that protocols that our usual vendor follows.

The report returned 2 days after testing was completed which was unusually quick for this industry. All in all very pleased with my experience.
