Most partners begin with a central laboratory account and add point-of-care testing once the volume justifies it. Either can stand on its own, and many sites run both.
You order from our full testing menu and we perform it at NovaLab Central or within our partner laboratory network. No equipment, no accreditation work and no change to your premises.

Your site becomes an accredited point of care under our quality system, performing selected tests on medical-grade analyzers with results available during the visit.
Suits sites with the patient volume, the space and licensed staff to collect and operate — pharmacies, medical clinics and healthcare centres.
See current sitesTesting that requires a separate trip to a collection site gets deferred, and deferred testing delays the decision it was ordered to inform. When a test a practitioner has already ordered can be performed where the patient already is, that delay disappears.
The clinical argument is the same one, from the other direction. A result available during the visit lets a decision be made in that visit: an antiviral started inside its window, an antibiotic withheld where testing does not support it, a follow-up booked on the strength of a number rather than a suspicion.
International evidence supports the model. Reviews of point-of-care testing in acute and community services report faster results with minimal waiting, fewer unnecessary investigations, better triage, and a clearer, more timely picture of a patient’s condition — with particular benefit in primary care, rural settings and underserved communities.
For a partner site, this arrives as a clinical service your patients can use rather than an operational burden you have to run.
Panels are performed on site on medical-grade analyzers under our accreditation, with results available during the visit.
Molecular
Respiratory panel — SARS-CoV-2, influenza and RSV — and Group A Streptococcus.
Baseline wellness
Lipid panel, liver panel and kidney check.
The community presence and the client relationship — the people who already come to you for care, and the trust you have built with them.
The laboratory testing and quality assurance capabilities that power the back end of on-site testing, so your site can offer accredited results without building a laboratory.
Commercial terms are discussed directly, and an account for central laboratory testing can usually be opened without the site requirements or accreditation timeline a point-of-care site involves. We are happy to walk a prospective partner through either route and what the first year actually looks like.
Offer accredited laboratory testing throughout your opening hours, including evenings and weekends.
Receive results within the visit, so a clinical decision can be made while the patient is still in the room.
Order accredited testing directly, integrating laboratory results into the care you already provide.
Build baseline and follow-up laboratory testing into your preventive and longevity programmes.
