🩸What Is Mobile Phlebotomy

What tests can be done with mobile phlebotomy?

Mobile phlebotomy can support virtually any blood test or specimen collection that would normally be ordered at a patient service center. Common tests include:

Routine blood panels:

  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP)
  • Lipid panel (cholesterol)
  • Hemoglobin A1c (diabetes monitoring)
  • Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4)
  • Specialized tests:

  • Hormone panels (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone)
  • Vitamin levels (D, B12, iron)
  • Clotting studies (PT/INR)
  • Genetic and pharmacogenomic testing
  • Tumor markers
  • Infectious disease panels (HIV, hepatitis, STI panels)
  • Other specimens:

  • Urine samples (urinalysis, drug screening, culture)
  • Saliva and buccal swabs (DNA, drug screening)
  • Nasal swabs (respiratory panels)
  • Blood cultures (for certain infections)
  • Some highly specialized tests (e.g., tests requiring immediate centrifugation or refrigerated transport under strict timing) may have limitations based on the mobile provider's equipment. Always confirm with your provider.
