analyses exceptionnelles


Explanation:
Par opposition aux tests ou analyses de routine.

Esoteric testing = The analysis of 'rare' substances or molecules that are not performed in a routine clinical lab
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/esoteric tes...

et :
"L' activité consiste à réaliser au sein même du laboratoire les analyses de routine pour les patients (sur des échantillons de sang ou d'urines …) et des **examens plus rares** pour d'autres laboratoires partenaires. Les **analyses exceptionnelles** sont prises en charge, les échantillons conditionnés et prétraités pour être envoyés dans des laboratoires spécialisés."
