HLA-B27 Testing Delays

Please be aware that we are currently unable to meet the standard 10‑day turnaround time for HLA‑B27 testing.

This delay is the result of a field safety notice issued by the manufacturer of our testing kits. Testing has now resumed using a fully validated alternative method.

We are actively working through the backlog of samples, all of which have been stored appropriately on receipt, and we will issue results as soon as possible.

If you need further information or have an urgent enquiry, please contact the laboratory on 01443 622175.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period.
