Who can benefit from an on-site lab?

Any patient who requires lab work can benefit from our on-site lab. Wait times for results are minimized with on-site lab testing and screening. It is far more convenient, as you will not need to travel to another location for your tests.

What can I expect with an on-site lab?

Your experience with an on-site lab will depend on your testing or screening.

  • If your provider orders blood work, the lab can do the blood draw on-site. This is a simple procedure in which a needle is inserted into a vein, and blood is drawn to fill the required number of vials.
  • For other tests, such as pregnancy and urinalysis for UTI, you may be asked to provide a urine sample. You can expect total privacy and discretion in all testing procedures at Advanced Surgical Technology.
  • For some tests and screenings, your provider may send a tissue sample or culture to the on-site lab for testing.

FAQ

How quickly can an on-site lab return results?

The speed of results will depend on the test or screening. With rapid influenza A and B testing and rapid mono screening, you may have results in as little as 15 minutes. A rapid strep test may only take five minutes.
