- Nasopharyngeal and throat swab in M4, V-C-M (UTM) media: Use only sterile Dacron® or rayon swabs. Do not use calcium alginate swabs, as they may contain substances that inhibit PCR testing. Break applicator sticks off near the tip to permit tightening of the cap. Sputum: Collect in a sputum collection kit or a sterile, leak-proof plastic container. Bronchial lavage: Collect in a sterile, leak-proof plastic container.

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.
