No special preparation.
Sample before 5pm, reports in 2-3 hours. After 5pm report next day morning 11am.
Joint Infection Panel (Biofire FilmArray) is important because it allows rapid and precise detection of pathogens causing joint infections (septic arthritis or prosthetic joint infections), which can prevent serious complications like joint destruction or systemic infection.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
