Announcement

Test Code: MNWB – Manganese, Blood

Test code: FRDIG [3800080] – Digoxin, Free, Serum is now available for ordering.

 

Testosterone, Free
Test code: TESF
Due to a reagent backorder, results for Testosterone, Free will be delayed. Specimens will be stabilized at Warde Medical Laboratory upon receipt. Testing is expected to resume on May 24, 2022. At that time, the oldest samples will be assayed first until all backlogged samples are resulted. We anticipate 2 – 3 days to resolve the backlog upon receipt of reagent. In the meantime, Warde can refer these tests being held to another reference lab if you request it. Please contact Client Services at 800-760-9969 for referral test code and pricing.
