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

Panels that include this biomarker

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Quantitative, Real-time PCR (Graphical) 550420

    2 analytes · Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 5 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Cobas® HIV
    Collection
    Centrifuge sample within 24 hours of collection. Transfer plasma to a screw-cap polypropylene transport tube. Ship frozen (preferred). To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit a separate frozen specimen for each test requested.

    Method
    Cobas® AmpliPrep/Cobas® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test, Version 2.0
    Collection
    Collect specimen in three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or three PPT™ tubes. Do not use green-top (heparin) tubes. Centrifuge specimen within six hours of collection. Transfer plasma to one or more screw-cap polypropylene transport tube(s). Snap-cap or pop-top tubes should be avoided and may result in specimen rejection. Immediately freeze specimen at -20°C. Do not place samples on dry ice until completely frozen. Ship specimens frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

    2 analytes · Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 4 - 6 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Cobas® AmpliPrep/Cobas® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test, Version 2.0 and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and DNA sequencing
    Collection
    Both frozen plasma and frozen whole blood are required for this profile. Draw three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes. Do not use green-top (heparin) tubes. Plasma: Centrifuge two tubes within six hours of collection. Remove plasma, transfer plasma to screw-cap polypropylene transport tubes (not "pop-top" or "snap-cap"), and freeze. Ship specimen frozen. Whole blood: Do not centrifuge. Freeze tube immediately after draw. Ship specimen frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time, when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Quantitative, Real-time PCR (Graphical) With Reflex to HIV-1 PhenoSense GT® Plus Integrase 550711

    2 analytes · Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 24 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Cobas® AmpliPrep/Cobas® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test, Version 2.0
    Collection
    Collect specimen in three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or three PPT™ tubes. Do not use green-top (heparin) tubes. Centrifuge specimen within six hours of collection. Remove plasma, transfer plasma to screw-cap polypropylene transport tubes (not "pop-top" or "snap-cap"), and freeze. Ship frozen (preferred). Do not ship frozen in PPT™. If PPT™ is used to collect plasma, specimen must be transferred to a screw-cap tube prior to freezing to avoid false elevation of low viral load samples. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

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.
