Why do some blood test take longer to result then others?

I just got lab work done CBC, CMP, testosterone and estradiol. My CBC/CMP came back next day. The testosterone and estradiol haven’t results and could take 10 days. What makes it take longer to run hormones?

 Some tests can be run straight from the sample while others need to have mixing agents or blood separated for accurate measurments.  This means the lab might wait for several samples that need the same test so the equipment is used at maximum capacity
