Sample Retention Period


Sample Storage Times

We would like to inform you of an important update regarding the storage of blood samples at Pathlab. Due to workload increase and capacity constraints in our refrigerated stockyard, we are no longer able to store blood samples for the previous duration of seven days.

Effective immediately:

  • Serum samples will be stored for 4 days.
  • EDTA samples will be stored for 2 days.

We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in adapting to these changes. Please ensure that any required follow-up testing or additional requests (Test Adds) are submitted within the revised storage timeframes to avoid potential issues.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Thank you for your continued support.
