Hi does anyone know why the FMC doesn’t offer the panorama? I am booked in for the harmony this week and wondering if I have made a mistake and should be having the panorama as it seems to screen for more stuff? Thanks

Much of the stuff that Panorama offers to “test” for is unvalidated or of unknown significance so, frankly, a waste of money. Non invasive testing is a very good example that more (or more expensive) is not necessarily better

Thank you so much that is really helpful. Will stick with FMC, chose to go there due to past history.
