- Method
- Immunoassay
- Collection
- Transfer separated serum or plasma to a plastic transport tube. Both peak and trough concentrations should be monitored. The trough sample is drawn immediately prior to the next dose.
- Reference notes
- • Therapeutic: 25.0−40.0 μg/mL • Detection limit: 2.0 μg/mL; <2.0 μg/mL indicates none detected Note: Peak levels drawn at 30 minutes are more variable and very dependent on consistent timing of collections. Differences of as little as 15 minutes in sampling time can result in a 10−15 μg/mL difference in measured vancomycin concentrations. It is important that consistency be maintained in the dosage interval and infusion period throughout the course of therapy for comparison of vancomycin concentrations to be valid. Peak levels collected at two hours are less variable.

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.
