Laboratory Services

Sample receipt, processing and core laboratory testing carried out under documented methods and recorded quality control.

How we work

The unglamorous part that decides the result

A laboratory result is only as good as everything that happened to the sample before it was measured. Collection, transport temperature, time to processing, labelling, storage — these determine reliability at least as much as the instrument does, and they are where most avoidable errors originate.

Our laboratory services are therefore built around documented handling from receipt to disposal. Every sample is identified and tracked, processing conditions are recorded, and controls are run and reviewed alongside the work. If a control fails, the run is repeated rather than reported.

What we provide

Core laboratory functions

Sample receipt

Samples are checked on arrival against their request, identified, logged and assessed for suitability before any processing.

Processing

Preparation carried out under documented procedures, with conditions and timings recorded.

Testing

Analysis performed using validated methods by staff trained and assessed on them.

Quality control

Controls run alongside samples and reviewed before results are released.

Reporting

Reports state the method used, any reference range applied, and limitations relevant to interpretation.

Storage & disposal

Retention under defined conditions and disposal in line with applicable requirements.

Our test menu and turnaround times will be published here

The specific tests offered, sample requirements, turnaround times, pricing and any accreditations will be listed here once laboratory services are commissioned. Clinicians and researchers rely on those details, so we will publish them only when they are confirmed and current.

Reduced-cost access

The same tests, methods and quality controls are available at subsidised rates to patients referred through partner clinics and our community programmes.
