Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
- Collection
- Whole blood: Collect whole blood in sterile tubes containing EDTA anticoagulant. Store refrigerated. Do not freeze whole blood. Plasma: Collect blood in sterile tubes containing EDTA anticoagulant or in plasma preparation tubes (PPT). Store collected whole blood at room temperature and separate plasma from cells within 2 hours of collection. Transfer plasma to sterile, plastic, screw-cap tubes and store refrigerated or frozen. If blood is collected in a PPT, centrifuge within 2 hours of collection and store refrigerated or frozen. It is not necessary to transfer the plasma from a PPT to aliquot tubes. Serum: Collect in a red-top tube (no gel) or serum separator tube (SST) and store refrigerated or frozen. CSF, amniotic fluid, urine, BAL: Collect in a sterile, plastic, leak-proof container and store refrigerated or frozen. Raw vitreous (eye) fluid specimens: Do not dilute collected specimen with additional saline or other transport media. Tissue: Fresh (unfixed) tissue submitted in a sterile, plastic, leak-proof container and store refrigerated or frozen.

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.
