Haematology and haemostasis (CBC, blood group, coagulation)

Analysis of blood cells (complete blood count, blood smear), blood grouping and coagulation tests, with same-day results for most morning samples.

A few minutes for sampling; same-day results for a morning sample

Biochemistry (blood sugar, lipids, kidney and liver tests)

Measurement of the molecules in blood and urine: sugar, cholesterol, kidney and liver function, electrolytes, vitamins, on accredited automated analysers.

A few minutes; same-day results for a morning sample

Microbiology (bacteriology, parasitology, mycology)

Identification of the bacteria, fungi and parasites responsible for an infection (urine culture, blood cultures, swabs, stool cultures) and antibiotic susceptibility testing to guide treatment.

Rapid direct examination; cultures issued in 2 to 3 days depending on the germ, longer for some fungi

Immunology: infectious serology and autoimmunity

Detection of antibodies and antigens: serology for hepatitis, HIV, toxoplasmosis, rubella and other infections, and measurement of the autoantibodies of autoimmune diseases.

A few minutes for sampling; results the same day or within a few days depending on the tests

Hormone assays and tumour markers

Hormone assays (thyroid, fertility, pregnancy, adrenal, pituitary) and tumour markers for the diagnosis and follow-up of endocrine diseases and cancers.

A few minutes for sampling; results the same day or within a few days depending on the assays

Allergy testing and food intolerances

Identification of the allergens responsible (pollens, dust mites, foods, venoms, drugs) by specific IgE assays, and food intolerance profile by IgG testing.

A few minutes for sampling; results in one to a few days depending on the number of allergens

Molecular biology and PCR (viral loads, multiplex PCR, HPV, genetics)

Detection and quantification of the DNA or RNA of infectious agents by real-time PCR: viral loads, respiratory, digestive and meningeal multiplex PCR, HPV with genotyping, tuberculosis, and detection of genetic mutations.

Results within 24 hours for most PCR tests, longer for some genetic tests

Blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease

Measurement of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in blood (pTau217, amyloid beta 1-42 and their ratio) and in cerebrospinal fluid, for an early biological assessment of cognitive disorders.

A few minutes for sampling; turnaround time communicated by the laboratory at the time of sampling

Sampling, home sampling and online results

Patient reception, sampling at the laboratory or at home by appointment, night duty service, same-day results for most tests and secure online access.

Reception and sampling in a few minutes; same-day results for most morning tests
