The process
How Biochemistry testing works
A clear, four-step pathway from booking to a laboratory report you can share with your treating clinician.
-
Step 1
Book your test
Reserve online or by phone. Our team confirms the investigation, the listed price and the right collection option for you.
-
Step 2
Sample collection
Visit a collection centre or request home collection across Dubai and the UAE. Preparation instructions are shared in advance.
-
Step 3
Laboratory analysis
Your sample is processed under documented quality controls, with chain-of-custody tracking from receipt to result.
-
Step 4
Report & follow-up
Receive a secure digital report. Share it with your clinician, and contact our team if you need help understanding the next step.
Before your appointment
Preparation & sample collection
Follow the instructions you are given
Some investigations require fasting, a specific collection time, or avoiding certain medicines, supplements or strenuous activity. Instructions are confirmed when you book.
Bring your identification
A valid photo ID is required at collection so that your sample is matched correctly to your record.
Tell us about medicines
Let the team know about prescription medicines, supplements or recent procedures — these can affect how an investigation is scheduled or interpreted.
Ask if you are unsure
If anything about the preparation is unclear, contact us before your appointment rather than after collection — preparation errors can affect reporting times.
