Do I Need an Appointment?

In most cases, a separate appointment is not required for pathology collection. Patients will need a valid pathology request form from their GP or treating practitioner.

Collection services are generally available during pathology operating hours. Some tests may require specific preparation, such as fasting, and our team can provide guidance where necessary. Pathology fees vary by test and provider; contact 4Cyte or our team for current pricing.
