Panels that include this biomarker

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Detection and Rifampin Resistance (PCR), Acid-fast Bacillus (AFB) Smear, and AFB Culture (Sputum) 183444

    3 analytes · Specimen not stated · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 43 - 56 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Nucleic acid amplification (NAA), nested real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR); concentrated specimen with broth-based and/or agar-based culture. Culture is held for six weeks before negative is reported. Organisms from culture are identified by use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or MALDI-TOF and/or nucleic acid sequencing.
    Collection

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Detection and Rifampin Resistance, NAA With AFB Culture 183469

    3 analytes · Sputum (adult population) first morning specimen · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 48 - 56 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Nucleic acid amplification (NAA), nested real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR); concentrated specimen with broth-based and/or agar-based culture. Culture is held for six weeks before negative is reported. Organisms from culture are identified by use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or MALDI-TOF and/or nucleic acid sequencing.
    Preparation
    When collecting sputum, have the patient brush teeth or remove dentures and rinse mouth with water. Instruct the patient not to collect saliva.

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.
