Lab Report, samples and tests FAQ
Health information and valuable information designed to help patients understand the lab tests that are a vital part of medical care.
Where can I go to provide a sample for testing?
Our medical assistant or qualified nurse will instruct you, or draw the required sample, and deliver it to our laboratory doctors and professionals.
How is a blood sample collected?
Typically, a blood sample is taken by inserting a needle into a vein, usually in your arm. Before your blood is drawn, an elastic band is tied around your upper arm to increase blood in the veins, and the puncture location is wiped clean with an antiseptic. A blood draw using a needle may cause a temporary sting. The blood draw normally lasts for less than a minute. Sometimes a blood sample is collected by puncturing the tip of a finger and drops of blood are collected onto a test pad, filter paper, or into a small tube.
How is a urine sample collected?
Most urine samples are collected by urinating into a clean container provided by the lab. One to two ounces of urine is typically needed for testing, and a sufficient sample is required for accurate results. Urine samples usually can be collected at any time, but a first morning sample may be requested because it is more concentrated and more likely to detect abnormalities. For tests requiring a 24-hour urine sample, all urine produced for 24 hours is collected at home and put into a large container that must be refrigerated during the collection process.
How long does testing typically take before results are available?
The time it takes for test results to be available depends on various factors, such as the type of test, the method used. Some tests can give results within minutes. Tests that are performed at our labs may take a few hours or up to several days after the sample is received.
