MELISA testing is currently only available in two laboratories in Europe and one laboratory in Israel.

The lab in Israel is only able to provide MELISA for residents, samples from abroad are not accepted.

The lab in Spain is not able to accept blood samples from areas outside the EU.

The lab in Switzerland has very limited capacity for MELISA testing. Testing must be booked well in advance and samples can only be sent on the agreed date. 

Blood samples must be delivered within 48 hours after the blood draw and the courier needs permission to ship blood samples. Special shipping documents are required.
In case you are able to arrange transport from your location to 1227 Genève-Acacias in Switzerland it should be possible to provide MELISA testing for you.
FedEx is the usual option but shipping within 48 hours is not available from all locations. Please contact your local FedEx office to check if shipping within 48 hours is ppossible. FedEx International Priority Express by 12 PM service is usually the correct option for shipping with FedEx.
Based on our experience, it is almost impossible to arrange shipping within 48 hours from Australia or New Zealand. It is not possible to use FedEx and available courier service can be very expensive.

There is an option to proceed with MELISA while you are travelling. You can schedule a phlebotomy appointment directly at the lab and your samples will be processed immediately.
Alternatively, in case you are travelling we can help to arrange shipping of your samples from locations in the European Union to the lab in Spain.

We are working to establish cooperation with new lab partners to make MELISA testing available to patients worldwide. Due to the complexity of the test and the associated requirements, this can take some time.
