  • Ongoing delays in testing for mannose binding lectin (MBL) levels 18 September 2023 We have been notified about a new supply issue for the replacement Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) test which was introduced in August 2023 after the unexpected withdrawal of our previous commercial kit in December 2022.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. More information Please contact the Immunology laboratory at PathWest QEII.
