Moving from Chughtai Lab App to LabFlow
The patient app of a large Pakistani pathology chain: a profile with the complete history of that chain's lab reports, nearby centres and home sampling, on iOS and Android. Last checked 7 November 2026. Check Chughtai Lab App yourself, because a page that says something newer than this one is right.
The side-by-side comparison, with LabFlow's own limits, is on the LabFlow site. This page is about making the move.
Before you move
- Choose the Chughtai Lab App if your tests are done at Chughtai Lab, because its reports, home sampling and centre finder are all in that one app and the central laboratory is CAP accredited.
- Choose LabFlow if you use more than one laboratory, because the record belongs to you rather than to the chain, and a result from any LabFlow laboratory lands in the same account.
The move, step by step
There is no way to bring a record across. LabFlow imports nothing from Chughtai Lab App or from any other system.
- Keep what Chughtai Lab App holds. Download what it lets you download and keep it somewhere of your own. The pages we checked do not say how long it stays available after you leave.
- Find a laboratory that runs LabFlow. The directory lists those that have published a listing. LabFlow's portal only holds results from laboratories on LabFlow.
- Open the patient portal once a laboratory has linked your account to your record and released something.
- Share a report, and stop sharing it when you choose. A share opens one whole report. There is no LabFlow ID to give a laboratory, no access request to accept and no sharing section by section.
