A new computer system is currently being installed in the CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre specimen centers. Although our teams are working to reduce the impact of this situation on appointments, delays may be encountered during your visit.
By appointment only, blood tests, urine samples and other samples are free.
At each visit, you must bring:
- the request from your doctor, duly completed, signed and dated;
- your valid health insurance card.
If you have an electronic requisition, please send it to: ·

Please read the following instructions carefully. Some tests have special instructions.
Do I need to be fasting for my test?
Several tests no longer require you to be fasting. We strongly recommend that you consult the Liste des analyses nécessitant d’être à jeûn (List of tests that require fasting)before making an appointment online.
