Biomed Lab Test Order — Tomorrow Morning

Intended visit date: 2026-05-27 morning
Price/source check: Biomed Phnom Penh public tariff list, verified 2026-05-26 from https://www.biomedphnompenh.com/test-tariff-list.
Most important instruction for reception / lab:
For Dag, please order serum Protein Electrophoresis — exact Biomed tariff names: “Protein Electrophoresis” or “Electrophoresis-Protein”. The tariff row says: Specimen: Serum 1 ml; Duration: 3-5 days; Fee: $25.00.

Please do not order Hemoglobin Electrophoresis / Hb Electrophoresis. That is an EDTA blood hemoglobin test and does not answer the serum-protein / IgA pattern question.

Patient 1: Dag Erlandsen

Requested package: Core panel + Protein Electrophoresis + IgA.

Please draw fasting blood before coffee/tea/food if possible. Stool tests are listed separately but intended for the same visit.

Biomed tariff rowSpecimenDurationFeeUse for this visit?
Protein ElectrophoresisSerum 1 ml3-5 days$25.00YES — correct serum protein test.
Electrophoresis-ProteinSerum 1 ml3-5 days$25.00YES — same intended serum protein test.
Electrophoresis-HemoglobinEDTA Blood 2 ml3-5 days$30.00NO — hemoglobin test; wrong purpose.
Hb ElectrophoresisEDTA Blood 2 ml3-5 days$30.00NO — hemoglobin test; wrong purpose.
Immunofixation Electrophoresis (Kappa, Lambda light chain)Serum 1 ml3-5 days$80.00NO for now — only if serum protein electrophoresis is suspicious or doctor requests it.
Electrophoresis Protein /UrineUrine 24h3-5 days$145.00NO — urine 24h test; wrong specimen for this request.

Patient 2: Neth Sarorn

Requested tests: iron-store/microcytosis check + hepatitis B status screen.

Priority Exact Biomed test name to order Specimen Duration Fee Purpose / note
1FerritinSerum 1 ml1 day$7.50Best first test for low iron stores in microcytosis.
2Serum Iron / Fer sérique
Biomed aliases found: “Fer sérique (Iron)”, “Iron / Fer sérique”, “Serum Iron / Fer sérique”.
