Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Is outsourced test ?
Outsourced test are being done from Dr. Lal Path Lab. Charges and reporting time is same as of Dr. Lal Path Labs.
2. Any Preparation for the test ?
No special preparation required.
3. Why this test is important ?
The GeneXpert MTB/XDR test is a rapid molecular diagnostic test that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and identifies extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis by detecting genetic mutations associated with resistance to key anti-TB drugs. This test is crucial for early diagnosis, treatment selection, and preventing the spread of resistant TB.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
