Hello, if you visit NJH and send them sputum samples for testing where do you call to get the tubes. I realized I have two boxes with testing kit but they have are probably almost from a year ago visit there. Thank you

The tubes should be in the test kit. They always send 2 complete kits after my visit to NJH.

Thank you. I have to email and ask for the kits

Good morning! The NJH lab sends out test kits once per week, on Monday. I always message (through my chart) my IDs nurse who contacts the lab when I have used the last one. You might try calling the main number but you are probably better off contacting your doctors nurse and they will forward the request to the lab.
