At Mrcheveli, samples collected in the laboratory are stored for 7 days. This allows patients to conduct additional tests on existing material if necessary, significantly saving time and resources for both the patient and the laboratory.
Patients no longer need to return to the clinic for a repeat venipuncture. Additional tests can be ordered from the comfort of home via telephone or email. This service is particularly beneficial for young children and patients with difficult venous access.
As mentioned, sample storage is equally important for the laboratory itself, as it simplifies result verification and enables faster test turnaround times.
All materials are stored in full compliance with pre-analytical standards, which include:
-
Temperature Control: Maintaining the strictly required thermal regime.
-
Sample Sealing: Tubes are sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation, ensuring maximum result accuracy.
-
Easy Identification: Each sample is assigned a universal barcode for rapid and precise tracking.
