Starting at 0700, Tuesday, August 9th, 2022, instrumentation in the core clinical laboratory will be undergoing replacement. The process will take 36-48 hours. This may delay the resulting of the following assays in that time window:

Acetaminophen drug level [LAB43]
B-Hydroxybutyrate [LAB570]
Gentamicin drug level [LAB28]
Hemoglobin A1C [LAB90]
Iron panel [LAB94]
LDL cholesterol measured [LAB102]
Lithium drug level [LAB29]
Methotrexate drug level [LAB481]
Microalbumin, random [LAB646] or timed [LAB647]
Prealbumin [LAB115]
Salicylate drug level [LAB34]
Urine pH [LAB875]
Vancomycin drug level [LAB41]

These assays will still run on a backup instrument but will be unavailable periodically when that instrument undergoes daily maintenance.

Questions should be directed to Matthew Krasowski, MD, PhD, medical director of the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory (384-9380, matthew-krasowski@uiowa.edu).
