Kenny Stauffer: How turnaround time works for samples, that’s a broad question, but we can narrow it down.
Kenny Stauffer: It really depends on the product that you’re ordering, you look at Igenity Feeder, you look at our Igenity Select, those tests all have a guaranteed 17-day turnaround as long as certain metrics are made.
Kenny Stauffer: For the majority, we really strive to be that three to four weeks.
Kenny Stauffer: Based on time of year, we get overran early in the spring, but for the rest of the time three to four weeks is a very standard doable turnaround time for our producers.
