Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Direct Microscopy • Bacterial Culture • Aerobic and Anaerobic Isolation
- Collection
- Tissues and fluids are superior to a swab specimen. If swabs must be used, collect 2 anaerobic transport swabs, one for culture and one for gram stain or submit one anaerobic transport swab with one air dried smear or one ESwab (white-cap) for both culture and gram stain. Specimens not listed as acceptable may be processed for anaerobic culture only after consultation with a Quest Microbiology Scientific Director. Do not submit syringe with needle attached. If submitting syringe, remove needle, expel air and cap syringe. Purulent sterile body fluids not submitted in an anaerobic transport tube may be accepted for culture if received within 8 hours of collection.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
