Turnaround Time


Our rapid turnaround times, comprehensive panels, and knowledgeable support team have earned a 97% satisfaction rating from healthcare systems.

Generally, the standard turnaround time for reporting negative screening test results is the next business day, with an additional 1-2 business days for specimens that require confirmatory testing. Turnaround time begins from receipt of the valid specimen –accompanied by a properly documented valid order– into the laboratory. Some tests require additional time to process and will fall outside the standard turnaround time window.
