🧪Specimen Types & Special Tests

Can mobile phlebotomy be used for thyroid testing?

Yes. TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibody panels are among the most common mobile phlebotomy requests.

Thyroid tests are collected in SST (serum separator) tubes and require no special handling beyond standard transport. Results typically return within 24–48 hours from most labs. Mobile phlebotomy is ideal for thyroid monitoring, which often involves quarterly or semi-annual labs for patients on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
