Laboratory Guide 2020
The TDL Laboratory Guide lists around 1500 profiles and tests that we offer. These are organised by departments, speciality, and as an A–Z.
Every year we review requesting patterns, frequency of use, new best practice and new methods, and we include new and relevant assays in the test menu. We also try to incorporate the changes that have originated from feedback received over the past year. This helps us to keep profiles and test menus as up-to-date and relevant as possible. The developments in diagnostic pathology are very exciting, and we hope this new guide captures some of the important trends. Sample types and turnaround times have been updated throughout.
For advice or information about any of the tests that are listed – and particularly if you cannot find the test you are looking for – please contact the laboratory on 020 7307 7373. If you need information and advice about genetic tests, please call 020 7307 7409.
The tabs will help you navigate to the various disciplines. For sample takers, the inside back cover of the laboratory guide gives details of sample requirements, with coloured dots to match the colour of the BD vacutainer top (A B C F G H K).
