Procedure

How to take the tests

Blood sampling is carried out in the morning. For most biochemical parameters fasting is required — the last meal no later than 8–12 hours beforehand. Drinking water is permitted.

The exact preparation requirements depend on the particular test: you will be informed of them when booking. Some tests do not require any special preparation.

The laboratory operates at all three locations. The equipment includes both basic and automated analytical systems.
