Performed:

Same day (within 8 to 12 hours of receiving specimen), Monday through Saturday

Analytical Time:

1 day

Testing Laboratory:

ViraCor-IBT Laboratories; Lee's Summit, MO

Laboratory Section:

Referral Testing

Adenovirus by PCR, QUANTITATIVE (Viracor), PLASMA

Preferred Collection Container:

Lavender (EDTA)

Collection Information:

Collect 4-5 mL whole blood in EDTA

Transport Information:

Centrifuge and transfer 2.0 mL of EDTA plasma into a sterile transport vial.

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.

0.5 mL of plasma (approximately 1.0 mL of blood based upon a normal patient's hematocrit)

Remarks:

If a specimen is collected Friday (or prior to a holiday) and the last batch has already been sent out, it should be frozen immediately and stored as such over the weekend or holiday. These specimens must be noted as frozen on the requisitions.
Specimens that are frozen prior to send-out should remain frozen for transport, and therefore will need to be shipped with dry ice. These specimens must be noted as frozen on the requisitions.

Stability Comments:

Can be shipped at ambient or frozen temperature Monday through Friday.

Stability

Refrigerated Stability:

7 days

Frozen Stability:
