Acid-fast Organism Identification by PCR, MALDI-TOF and/or Sequencing

Laboratory: Labcorp
Test code: 183158
Specimen: Isolated acid-fast bacillus (AFB) on agar or egg-based media; broth system positive for AFB (ensure it is not contaminated with non acid-fast bacteria)
Fasting: Not stated
Turnaround: 15 - 24 days

Laboratory assay overview

This test is used to identify acid-fast bacteria referred from another laboratory that has performed the culture of the clinical sample. Note: PCR testing for identification of M. avium complex and M. tuberculosis complex will be performed on VersaTREK liquid-based broth submissions only. Organisms not identified by PCR will have additional charges for identification by MALDI-TOF and/or nucleic acid sequencing.

Acid-fast Organism Identification by PCR, MALDI-TOF and/or Sequencing With Reflex to Susceptibility Testing

Laboratory: Labcorp
Test code: 183166
Specimen: Isolated acid-fast bacillus (AFB) on agar or egg-based media; broth system positive for AFB (ensure it is not contaminated with non acid-fast bacteria)
Fasting: Not stated
LOINC: 94541-0
Turnaround: 20 - 28 days

Laboratory assay overview

This test is used to identify and determine susceptibility of acid-fast bacteria referred from another laboratory that has performed the culture of the clinical sample. Note: PCR testing for M. avium and M. tuberculosis will only be performed on VersaTREK liquid-based broth submissions. Organisms not identified by PCR will have additional charges for identification by MALDI-TOF and/or nucleic acid sequencing.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
