Single-analyte tests

  • Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody Cascade to Quantitative PCR and Genotyping 144127

    Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 1 - 4 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with reflex to real-time PCR and Sanger sequencing
    Collection
    Two samples must be submitted. Antibody test: If tube other than a gel-barrier tube is used, transfer separated serum to a plastic transport tube. PCR test: Centrifuge sample within 24 hours of collection. Transfer serum/plasma to a screw-cap polypropylene transport tube. Ship frozen (preferred). Plasma from a PPT can be frozen and shipped in situ. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit a separate frozen specimen for each test requested.

    4 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 5 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    See individual tests.
    Collection
    QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus kit: Blood collection tubes should be at room temperature at the time of collection. Refer to collection instructions included with draw kit. Special specimen collection kit contains four gel-barrier tubes as noted above. All four tubes are required for a single test result. Each tube is designed to draw only 1 mL and fill time may be longer than other blood collection tubes. Because of the limited vacuum in these tubes, use a needle and holder ( not a butterfly) to collect QuantiFERON® specimens. If a butterfly is required, first collect other required tubes or use another Vacutainer® tube to purge the butterfly line of air and then proceed with drawing the QuantiFERON® tubes. Fill tubes to the black fill line on the tube. If tubes are underfilled or overfilled (see kit insert), immediately collect a replacement tube. Following proper fill, label the tubes appropriately and shake tubes 10 times firmly enough to ensure the entire surface of the tube is coated with blood cells to solubilize the antigen on the tube walls. After shaking, the volume may fall below the fill line. Do not centrifuge or refrigerate specimens. Return each of the four properly filled, labeled, and shaken tubes to the box labeled "QFT kit." Seal the top by removing tape from the adhesive. To preserve cellular viability, specimens should be collected and sent the same day, at room temperature, so as to arrive at the lab as soon as possible and within 14 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.
