Pathlab: Sample retention period changes

Due to workload increase and capacity constraints in Pathlab's refrigerated stockyard, they are no longer able to store blood samples for the previous duration of seven days. Effective immediately: Serum samples will be stored for four days. EDTA samples will be stored for two days. Pathlab kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in adapting to these changes. Please ensure any required follow-up testing or additional requests (Test Adds) are submitted within the revised storage timeframes to avoid potential issues.  If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact  John Woodford , service lead Biochemistry.
