Turnaround Time & Operational Workflow

Our lab is built for reliability, not exceptions. Nexus delivers diagnostic test results in 24–72 hours from lab receipt - no paid rush tiers, no hidden queues, no guesswork.

What turnaround time means at Nexus

Turnaround time starts when a sample is received at our lab. Our standard is 24–72 hours from receipt, not “business days,” not “when we can.” This is our default, not a premium tier.

We operate 7 days a week and use automation to maintain speed, accuracy, and consistency.

Our operational workflow

  • Lab operates 7 days a week
  • Samples received 8am – 8pm ET processed daily
  • Real-time sample accessioning and rejection tracking
  • Automated extraction and result processing
  • Clean result delivery via API, SFTP, or secure PDF

Our systems are built for consistent throughput, even as volume scales. No manual lag. No batch bottlenecks. Just diagnostics that keep up with your growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does turnaround time include shipping time?
A: No. Turnaround time begins when the sample is received at our lab, not when it’s mailed or registered.

Q: Are weekends included?
A: Yes. Our lab runs 7 days a week. Saturday and Sunday counts toward your turnaround window.

Q: Do you offer rush testing?
A: No premium tier required. All samples follow the same fast, automated process. If special conditions are needed (e.g., clinical trial, public health), we’ll scope it.

Q: How will I know when results are ready?
A: We deliver results via API, SFTP, or secure file drop. We can also configure notifications based on your system needs.

Q: What if a sample is rejected?
A: We send a structured rejection message with the sample barcode, type, and reason. You’ll never be left guessing.

Diagnostic speed without surprises

We don’t believe in fine print or caveats. If we say 24–72 hours, that’s what we mean. Our clients build clinical workflows, patient communications, and follow-up protocols around our reliability – and we don’t take that lightly.
