This is an alphabetical listing of all the diagnostic tests offered by the laboratory.
This consists of a mixture of "in-house" tests performed on-site and specialist tests that are sent to a reference laboratory.
Turnaround times will vary depending on the test and where it is performed.
For best results, please ensure the correct type of specimen is sent in the correct container.
Please note that availability for some tests is restricted and requires prior discussion/ authorisation by a microbiologist/ virologist.
For electronic requesting via e-QUEST: we have endeavoured to provide e-QUEST testing codes [in brackets] where possible.
If unsure as to how to interpret a result, contact us. Please be ready with a full clinical history, up to date clinical data and recent antimicrobial treatment details before you call.
