Additional Comments

The material assayed is fresh whole blood, which quickly deteriorates under normal transport conditions and should be tested within 3–4 days of dispatch. As such this program is only available to a limited number of destinations outside Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Please contact Customer Service at [email protected] if you are outside these areas. Schedules are dependent on patients availability. Notification will be sent by email on the day of dispatch.
