The home sample collection facility has made it easy to get diagnostic tests done from the comfort of your home without the need to visit diagnostic centres and wait in queues.

All the tests offered by PharmEasy Labs are affordable so that the general public can avail benefits of the same. Accurate and reliable reports are generated as the samples are analyzed using fully automated machines. The reports are also cross-verified by medical practitioners and then sent to the registered email address. The process is streamlined and is done in a very efficient and timely manner.
The VDRL test is non-specific and can sometimes yield a false positive result. As a result of this, the test should preferably be done in the middle stages of the infection. The reason is that syphilis antibodies are produced only in the middle stages of the infection, and if the test is done before that, it will yield a wrong result. The ideal time to do the VDRL test is between 21 days to 6 weeks.
