Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is a non-final appeal from a trial court order denying a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over appellant, Thomas Jefferson University. We affirm because there is both long-arm jurisdiction pursuant to section 48.193(l)(f)2, Florida Statutes (1995) and sufficient minimum contacts to satisfy constitutional due process requirements. Asahi Metal Indus. Co. v. Superior Court of California, Solano County, 480 U.S. 102, 108, 107 S.Ct. 1026, 1030, 94 L.Ed.2d 92 (1987); World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 296, 100 S.Ct. 559, 566, 62 L.Ed.2d 490 (1980); International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316, 66 S.Ct. 154, 158, 90 L.Ed. 95, 102 (1945).
While we affirm, we do so on the basis of section 48.193(l)(f)2, not section 48.193(l)(f)l. Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla.1979). Our review of the record supports the conclusion that Thomas Jefferson processed or serviced the serum in Pennsylvania but that the resulting written report and analysis were used within Florida in the ordinary course of the University of Miami's practice to evaluate the risk of Tay-Sachs.
We also conclude that there were sufficient minimum contacts to satisfy constitutional due process requirements. While there is a dispute between the parties about the number of samples tested by Thomas Jefferson for the University of Miami, we find that Thomas Jefferson's activity with the State of Florida was purposeful such that it could reasonably anticipate being haled into court here. Accordingly, we affirm.
