[Histonet] Turn Around Time

[Rene J Buesa]

In the US the "standard" (or most frequent) TAT is 24 hours. In other countries the TAT varies greatly, in extreme cases up to 1 week for surgicals!

Our benchmark is 24 hour TAT for 80% of cases.  We provide same-day service for recuts and most in-house special stains.

Hello Histonet

I am just curious what the standard for Turn Around Time is for most labs.
I think a two day turn around time from the time the biopsy gets to the lab
to the time the pathologist signs out a case is pretty fast.

Thanks for your input.
