The blood sample will be transferred into a test tube and will be taken safely to the labs for the test.
The lab technicians will test the sample by following established standards, to ensure correct reports. Thyrocare Labs has a team of professionals who are skilled and experienced. After the testing is done, your reports are sent to your email within 1-2 days. On the other hand, if you need a hard copy of the report, expect the delivery of the same within 3-5 business days.
