Usually available within 2 hours of sample being received Consultants available 24/7 to aid clinical interpretation if required DJ From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Colley, Michael Sent: 18 February 2016 13:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Xanthochromia testing. Having had to send our CSF samples away for analysis for several months, we are contemplating investing in new software and computer in order to bring them back in house. I'd be grateful to hear of the practice of other laboratories. Do you do them in house or send them away? Do you offer the service 24 hours a day? If not, what do you offer? What do you state as a turn-round time? Who performs the assay? (I know of a laboratory where they are assayed by BMS staff during the day and junior medical Pathology staff out of hours.) Any other valid (and repeatable) comments would be appreciated.
