saintlysusan Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Wondering what others are charged for sending off a cotton bud sample to be cultured? (Not complaining, just wondering, does $106 sound like alot? or the norm?) Its where the Gribbles lab grows it to see exactly which bugs are there, Im told it takes 3 days to come back. I just looked at yesturdays itemised bill and that was a decent chunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 That sounds about right - I would expect it to be in the $90-120 region. It can vary between labs. It will take 3 days minimum as the lab needs to grow some decent colonies in order to be able to identify the bacteria specifically and determine the antibiotic sensitivity.
