Measles (Rubeola) Virus, Molecular Detection, PCR, Random, Urine

Alias:

If part of an exposure investigation, this testing should be sent to SHL, Measles (Rubeola) PCR, Throat Swab or Urine. Testing sent to Mayo for non-exposure investigation or at the direction of SHL and CADE.

Methodology:

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Performed:

Monday through Friday

Analytical Time:

1 to 3 days

Testing Laboratory:

Mayo Medical Laboratories; Rochester, MN

Laboratory Section:

Referral Testing

Measles (Rubeola) Virus, Molecular Detection, PCR, Random, Urine

Container/Tube Type:

Sterile Container

Collection Information:

Collect a random urine in a sterile container.

Transport Information:

Transport 1.0 mL of urine refrigerated.

Minimum Sample Volume: Minimum amount of analytical sample (serum, plasma, urine, CSF, etc.) required to perform an assay once. Submitting the minimum volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (Quantity Not Sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.
