If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results.
Estimated turnaround for results is 5 business days. If confirmation testing is required the estimated time may be extended.
Note: If total testosterone results are expected to be >1500 it is best to order a panel that includes the LC/MS-MS methodology for total Testosterone.
If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results.

It is recommended to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of specimen.
