What each status means

StatusMeaning
PendingThe order is placed, or the samples are with us, but no results are signed off yet
PreliminarySome results are ready; others are still being tested
CompletedAll results are signed off and the full report is ready

The Completed column shows how many of the order's tests are finished, for example 2/3.

Use the buttons above the list to show only Pending, Preliminary, Completed or Critical orders. The number on each button tells you how many there are.

Finding older orders

Select the dates at the top right to choose This Month, Last Month or a Custom Range, then Apply. Completed reports are also in Archives.

Samples we couldn't test

If a sample can't be tested (for example it leaked, clotted or wasn't labelled) it appears under Sample Accession → Rejected Samples, and we'll contact you about a repeat. Redraw/Recollect Sample under Pending Collection lets you arrange a new sample.

How long will results take?

Each test's usual turnaround time is shown in Tests List in the portal (the Average TAT column). Routine blood tests are typically ready within a day or two of reaching us; specialist tests take longer.

Something looks stuck?

If an order hasn't moved for longer than you'd expect, contact us with the order number on 020 4525 8805 or at [email protected].
