Clear answers to common questions

Everything you need to move forward with confidence.

How do I choose between mobile and walk-in collection?

How and when will I receive results?

Results are delivered through a secure digital reporting process. Many routine results are available within 24–48 hours, but timing varies by test and specimen.

What happens after I book?
