Sample Collection
and Turn Around Time
Istologi guarantees rapid reporting times (TAT, Turnaround Time), evaluated from the acceptance of the sample in our laboratory to the signing of the report. 90% of cases in Istologi are reported within 5 working days.
Sample Collection
Istologi ensures that private clinics and hospitals receive properly traced sample retrieval.
The container must be labelled with:
- Patient’s personal details
- The type of material and site of collection
- The request form, fully completed including the date, must be attached separately to the container.
Important Note: The tissue must be immersed in 4% formalin; additional fixative solution must be added to prevent desiccation of small samples.
It is necessary to ensure that the sample is not placed in alcohol solution, as its fixative power is insufficient. In no case should fragments be wrapped in gauze.
