LOINC codes: 34720-3
Tests that measure Cytomegalovirus DNA, Quantitative Real-Time PCR, Miscellaneous: Quest Diagnostics 2

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

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Collection
Precaution: Saliva samples should be collected at least 30 minutes after eating or drinking. Ensure the sponge tip does not come into contact with any surface prior to collection. Collection procedure 1. Open package and remove collector without touching sponge tip. Place the saliva sponge into the child's mouth in the cheek pouch (the space between the gums and the inner cheek). 2. Gently move the saliva sponge around the upper and lower cheek pouches on both sides of the mouth to soak up as much saliva as possible. There is no need to 'scrape' the inner cheek with saliva sponge - collect as much saliva as possible from the cheek pouches. The sponge will absorb more saliva if it is left in the child's mouth for a longer time (up to 60 seconds). 3. Once collected, hold the tube upright to prevent stabilizing liquid inside the tube from spilling. Unscrew the blue cap from the collection tube without touching the sponge. 4. Insert the sponge into the tube and close cap tightly. 5. Invert the capped tube and shake vigorously 10 times.

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.
