Alerts

  • ALERT: Reagents for the ACTH assay are on backorder by the manufacturer. We anticipate our current supply to last until 8/28, after which ACTH testing will pause. Subsequent samples will be frozen until we can resume. The manufacturer's expected end date for the backorder is 10/8. We are actively pursuing possible solutions and will keep you informed.

Endocrinology T3 and T4I specimen update

Serum and heparinized plasma are now the only acceptable sample types for T3 (Triiodothyronine) baseline and T4 (Thyroxine) IMMULITE testing. This applies to test codes: T3, T4I and THYPALLI. Whereas we had been running these tests on EDTA plasma with a disclaimer, the disclaimer is no longer applicable, and we will need to cancel these tests if requested on this specimen type.
