Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about home collection service
What safety measures are followed during home collection?
All technicians follow strict safety protocols including sanitization, PPE usage, and proper sample handling. Equipment is sterile and single-use where applicable. Technicians are trained in infection control and emergency procedures.
How far in advance should I book a home collection?
You can book same-day collections based on availability, though 24-hour advance booking is recommended for guaranteed slots. Emergency collections can be arranged with additional charges for urgent cases.
Are there any tests that cannot be collected at home?
Most routine blood, urine, and swab tests can be collected at home. Some specialized tests requiring specific equipment or immediate processing may need to be done at the lab facility. Our system will inform you during booking if home collection isn't available for specific tests.
