MLabs Clinical Microbiology Gastrointestinal Pathogen and Respiratory Pathogen panels are down effective April 30, 2025, due to instrument issues. The vendor has been contacted for investigation and repair. We expect the instrument to be down for a minimum of 48 hours at which time we will evaluate the instrument status and options.

 

Inpatient requests for the Respiratory panel will be re-routed to instrumentation used for ER testing (order code ERPNC). Outpatient and MLabs requests will be delayed. MLabs clients, please notify MLabs Client Services at 800-862-7284 if you are sending Respiratory panel testing for inpatients or urgent care needs.

 

MLabs does not have alternative instrumentation available for the Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel. Alternative testing is available for C. difficile PCR/toxin (order code PCRCD).
