Stay safe!
Since Monday, March 23 2020, AHL has been operating with reduced staff to maximize physical distancing in the laboratory. Consequently, many tests will be batched to maximize efficiency and turnaround times may/will be extended. These include:
1) results of PCR testing may not always be available same day;
2) genotyping turnaround times will be extended;
3) ELISA and AGID tests will be continued, but turnaround times will be extended;
Testing NOT available at AHL:
Flow Cytometry (done by OVC Pathobiology)
Clonality (done by OVC Pathobiology)
Virus Neutralization testing (done by AHL Virology)
In an emergency we can seek an alternate lab but please keep in mind all North American labs are dealing with the same issues.
Thanks and stay safe
