Ranges
Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

| Population | Interval |
|---|---|
| <18 Years | Not established |
| Adults | ≤2.51 mg/L |
Tests
Check the catalog code, specimen, method and preparation for every test that measures Beta-2 Microglobulin, Serum. Select up to five tests to compare them side by side.

- Method
- See individual tests.
- Collection
- Due to loss of cellular viability, draw specimen so it will arrive in the laboratory Monday through Thursday and within 48 hours of collection. Specimens cannot be held over the weekend. State date and time of collection on the request form. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

Verify these ranges and sources
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.
