Please be informed weekly about changes in pre-analytical procedures, techniques, reagent shortages, nomenclature, and pricing of our tests, as well as the relocation steps of the various specialties of the laboratory to the new Frépillon site.
Dear Colleague,
REMINDER :
We have cleared the backlog and are back to normal for the registration of samples.
- Check the urgent box on the bag
- Note on the FDE: to Cindy Delanoë + initial case number
Due to specific organisational problems, the turnaround time for AML molecular tests will be extended for samples received from 22 July to 2 August inclusive.
The expected turnaround time for results over this period will be 3 weeks for samples taken during the week of 22 July and 15 days for samples taken during the week of 29 July.
If these timescales are not compatible with your organisational arrangements, we suggest that you contact another laboratory likely to be able to carry out the test as quickly as possible.
