Referral Testing

Urogenital Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma Species by PCR

Container/Tube Type:

ARUP Viral Transport Media - CONTACT LAB FOR SUPPLY

Collection Information:

Genital swab, rectal swab, or urine. Also acceptable: upper respiratory swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, and tracheal aspirates.

Transport Information:

Genital swab, rectal swab, respiratory swab or urine: Transfer genital swab, rectal swab, respiratory swab, or 1.0 mL urine to ARUP viral transport media (ARUP supply #12884)

BAL, sputum, or tracheal aspirate: Transfer 1.0 mL to an empty sterile container.

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.
