Medical analysis request

Medical analysis request [1]

Sciensano is recognized by INAMI-RIZIV [2] for the analyses of clinical microbiology which are performed in our national reference centres. It are mainly second-line analyses (confirmations, typings, etc.) although also first-line analyses for less usual pathogens are performed. Sciensano is accredited ISO15189 [3].
