  • Requests to add tests to existing orders:
    A requisition or a Fax request must be sent for additional test requests.
  • If contracting for Clinical Trials or special studies please contact us for specific instructions.
Specimen Collection Guidelines
  • The quality of laboratory results is contingent upon the quality of the specimens, completeness, and accuracy with which tests are ordered. Proper specimen procurement, transport, and processing are essential to obtaining valid, timely laboratory results. All requisitions and specimens received for clinical testing must meet defined criteria for identification, collection, volume, and testing in order to be processed.
  • Specimen requirements are shown on the Specimen Requirements chart.
  • Specimens should be labeled at the time of collection. The information on the label should be checked again to ensure the patient's or donor's demographics agree with those on the requisition. The date and time of collection should be noted on the requisition.
  • Specimen labeling requirements:
    Name, ID #, Date Drawn
  • Specimens can only be received during normal hours of operation, which is Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700.
