Rapid Laboratory Tests

Fast blood tests and inflammation markers immediately at the clinic.

Fast diagnostics immediately on-site

Every Tunturi Medical Center clinic is equipped with its own rapid laboratory, where the most important examinations can be performed immediately during the doctor’s appointment. Results are available in a few minutes, so diagnosis and treatment can begin right away – without the need for a separate laboratory visit.

  • We perform the most common laboratory tests immediately at the clinic.
  • Results are ready in a few minutes.
  • The doctor receives the information directly and starts treatment immediately.
  • No need for a separate laboratory appointment or travel for sampling.

Range of tests

Our rapid laboratory selection covers the most common inflammation and infection markers, as well as a complete blood count (CBC) and rapid blood glucose. The tests help distinguish between viral and bacterial infections, assess the body’s inflammation level, and support the doctor’s treatment decisions.

  • CRP (inflammation marker) – indicates the body’s inflammation level.
  • CBC (Complete Blood Count) – reveals potential infections and signs of anemia.
  • Rapid blood glucose – assesses sugar balance quickly.
  • Influenza and COVID-19 rapid tests – assist in diagnosing infectious diseases.
  • Urinalysis – detects infections and other abnormalities.

Interpretation of results and follow-up

The doctor interprets the test results immediately and provides a diagnosis and treatment recommendations based on them. If the results indicate a more serious inflammation or infection, treatment is started immediately on-site. If necessary, we arrange further examinations, such as X-rays or specialized laboratory samples.

  • The doctor reviews the results immediately after the test.
  • Treatment and medication can be started right away if needed.
  • We offer further examinations and specialized laboratory samples if required.

Sampling and test safety

All samples are taken hygienically and safely by trained nurses. We use modern equipment that ensures reliable results even with small sample amounts. Samples do not need to be sent to separate laboratories; everything is handled during the visit.

  • Samples are taken immediately at the reception without delay.
  • We use reliable, CE-approved measuring devices.
  • Results are recorded directly into patient records.
  • All examinations are performed safely and under sterile conditions.

Rapid laboratory services are available at all Tunturi Medical Center locations – in Levi, Ruka, Saariselkä, and Pyhä – throughout the season. Fast tests support the doctor’s diagnosis and ensure that the patient receives the right treatment immediately, without unnecessary waiting. Results can also be delivered electronically to insurance companies or for follow-up care if needed.
