PanTracer LBx: Reliable results even with insufficient tissue

When tissue tests come back QNS or TNP, getting actionable results can be challenging. In addition to its standalone use, PanTracer LBx offers a reflex option to PanTracer Tissue, to help ensure critical results are still obtainable—so you can continue your work without delays or interruptions.

Interface clients: Please update your test compendium to include the updated reflex options to make full use of this capability.
