Looking tests up

Profiles

A profile is a set of tests ordered together, for example a hormone panel. Search for it and add it just like a single test. Profiles are quicker to order and usually better value.

Before you confirm

Sample Collect Time (top right) is filled in with the current time. Change it if the samples were or will be taken at a different time.
Tick Emergency Report for urgent requests. See Packaging samples for urgent samples.
Use Add Comment for anything we should know about the request.

Then select Confirm and Bill. The order is placed and its Bill Receipt opens, where you can collect the samples and print their labels. See Printing barcodes and request forms.
