Laboratory & Phlebotomy

The Laboratory is part of the UCSD Clinical Laboratory and offers: 

  • Phlebotomy (blood drawing)
  • CBC testing (complete blood count)
  • Chemistry testing (basic panel)
  • Bone marrow and fine-needle aspiration assistance
Important Information
  • Check in at the front desk in the Infusion Center.
  • To avoid delays, verify with your doctor or nurse that you have properly filled out a laboratory service request form prior to your visit.
  • Some tests require that you fast (do not eat) prior to a blood draw. Always check with your ordering doctor or nurse to determine if this is necessary prior to your visit. 
  • While lab tests need to be requested by your physician, you do not need a specific appointment time for phlebotomy labs. Walk-ins are accepted.
  • If you have a central venous access device, such as a portacath or PICC line, blood draws will be done in the Infusion Center, and require an appointment time.
