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

    Method
    See individual tests
    Preparation
    Male urine: Patient should not have urinated within one hour prior to collection
    Collection
    Vaginal swabs: Follow instructions in the Aptima Vaginal Swab Collection Kit or Multitest Collection Kit (orange label). Male urethral swabs: Follow instructions in the Aptima Unisex Swab Specimen Collection Kit (white label). Swab specimen collection kit (orange or white label). Excess mucus should be removed prior to sampling. Male urine: Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (a maximum of 20-30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives. 2 mL of urine specimen must be transferred into the Aptima urine specimen transport within 24 hours of collection and before being assayed. Use the tube provided in the urine specimen collection kit. The fluid (urine plus transport media) level in the urine transport tube must fall within the clear pane on the tube label.

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.
