Sample Time of Collection

Dec 6, 2017, 00:00 AM by Lab Director
The paper or electronic requisition must include the date and time of specimen collection. The laboratory will reject (not test) specimens when the requisition (paper or electronic) is missing the date or time of collection. Refer to the Test Request requirements on the Specimen Collection page of the LSG for additional requirements. This change is necessitated to comply with CLIA federal regulations for Test Requests.
