Laboratory Guide 2023

TDL Laboratory Guide 2023

This year the Laboratory Guide looks different but every year we review requesting patterns, frequency of use, new best practice, new methods, and include new and relevant assays into 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 as relevant as possible. Details of nearly 1500 tests are listed in sections, by speciality, and through the A–Z test list in the last section of the guide. Profiles continue to be laid out by specialty but are now listed in alphabetical order. For advice or information about any of the tests that are listed – and particularly if you cannot find the test you are looking for, do please contact the laboratory on 020 7307 7373. If you need information and advice about Genetic Tests please call 020 7307 7409.

The symbols NEW  and CHANGE show new test entries and changes to tests, respectively.

For those who are taking samples, the inside back cover of the laboratory guide gives details of the sample types, with coloured dots for the identity of the BD vacutainer tubes  (A B C F G H K). Throughout the guide the number of tubes needed is shown by the given number of dots.
