Panel tests are a predetermined group of tests commonly requested together to provide a comprehensive and conclusive diagnosis, for example, liver function test (LFT). South African HIV antiretroviral treatment (ART) guidelines recommend individual tests for toxicity monitoring over panel tests. In 2008, the National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) request form was redesigned to list individual tests instead of panel tests and removed the 'other tests' box option to facilitate efficient ART laboratory monitoring.

遵守 HIV 治疗监测指南可以降低实验室成本。

小组测试是一组预先确定的测试，通常要求一起提供全面和结论性的诊断，例如肝功能测试 (LFT)。南非 HIV 抗逆转录病毒治疗 (ART) 指南建议对毒性监测进行个别测试，而不是小组测试。2008 年，国家卫生实验室服务 (NHLS) 申请表经过重新设计，以列出单个测试而不是小组测试，并删除了“其他测试”框选项，以促进有效的 ART 实验室监测。
