Microbiology lab culture screening delays on Wednesday, March 12th

On Wednesday, March 12th, 2025, a software upgrade will be performed on the instrumentation that handles cultures in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Cultures set up the previous day will be screened in the afternoon rather than the morning and therefore new positive and negative culture results will be issued 4 to 6 hours later than usual.

Questions about this broadcast can be directed to Bradley Ford, MD, PhD, Medical Director of Clinical Microbiology; (ext. 6-2990, bradley-ford@uiowa.edu; *8290).
