Laboratory Test and Collection list
General Information
The MUHC will perform the tests listed in this manual as per the terms listed in our service
contracts for laboratory testing.
Note: The list of testing not done in Quebec is published in a file called: « List des analyses
Hors de Québec du CUSM / List for testing done out of Quebec».
This test and collection list will be regularly updated; therefore we strongly recommended not
printing this document. It is published for informational purposes only and must be verified
with the current document on the MUHC internet site.
Use “control” and “f” keys to search for test name or MSSS codes.
The turn around times (TAT) listed represent the average time from when the sample is
received in the lab to when the result is finalized. Please add 2-5 days if results are sent by
mail.
If you have any questions or comments on the test information or if you wish to receive the
lab results by fax, please email us at: [email protected]
Transport of non-stabilized specimens
In general, non-stabilized specimens should be transported to the laboratory within the
shortest delay possible. The actual maximal time limit varies according to the test requested.
Unless indicated to the contrary in this manual, blood samples for routine lab testing can be
stored and transported at room temperature (22 to 25 ˚C) for up to a maximum of 2 hours
after procurement.
Unless indicated to the contrary in this manual, specimens for bacterial culture can be stored
in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours.
Attention: Certain specimens must not be refrigerated
Specimens received beyond the recommended times or conditions, may be rejected in order
to prevent erroneous results.
