Delays for non-urgent ENA/dsDNA testing

Due to technical issues, ENA/dsDNA testing is currently unavailable at Awanui Labs Auckland – this will affect community samples from Auckland and Northland.

  1. For urgent requests: Please call (09) 574 7398 to discuss with the on-call immunopathologist.
  2. Mark urgent tests clearly for expedited processing. Samples will be sent to other centres for processing.
  3. Results for tests processed by other centres may not be directly comparable to those from Awanui Auckland.
  4. Samples already collected or received during this period remain suitable for processing.
  5. Any non-urgent requests will be held until testing resumes.

We will update you once testing resumes in Auckland. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
