TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time

- 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.
