Molecular Diagnostics - rejected samples

22 December 2022

In a bid to ensure that samples are accepted by Molecular Diagnostics, we have produced a graph (if you require an accessible version please contact erika.rutherford@nhsbt.nhs.uk) to use with your teams.

We reject about >2000 samples per year. The highest rejected sample numbers are in the following categories: 

  • Discrepancies between sample and request form
  • Insufficient sample
  • Sample already tested
  • Incorrect or no Expected Delivery Date
