I believe the number of decimal places is generated by the lab. Each lab is different. Some will go to .xxxx and others will go to .x.

I think you will find that almost all Labs can give you multiple decimal points. You just have to ask for The Ultrasensitive test.

@dpayton Just speaking from my own experience with LabCorp, when we initially started tracking PSA they would report to one decimal place. When I saw others talking about more precise numbers I asked my doctor about it and they started using ultrasensitive on my scripts. From then on I got my numbers reported to 3 places.
