It depends on the type of test. In general, the fasting period for a blood test is 8 hours, and the maximum duration does not exceed 12 hours. (Many blood tests require no fasting.) More at http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-long-to-fast-before-a-blood-test.html. You can phone Quest at 866 697 8378 for specific instructions applicable to your test(s).
