Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Body Fluid
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
Collect 1 mL body fluid, centrifuge and separate to remove cellular material. Send frozen in plastic container.
Required: Source
Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform 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.
0.2 mL
Reject Due To Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected
| Hemolysis: | NA |
| Thawing: | Warm reject; Cold OK |
| Lipemia: | NA |
| Icterus: | NA |
| Other: | Breast milk and salivary fluid. Specimens too viscous to be aspirated by instrument. |
Specimen Stability Information Provides a description of the temperatures required to transport a specimen to the laboratory. Alternate acceptable temperature(s) are also included.
| Specimen Type | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Body Fluid | Frozen (preferred) | 180 days |
| Refrigerated | 5 days | |
| Ambient | 24 hours |
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Units: mg/dL
This test was performed using the Roche Modular P analyzer and Roche reagents. A reference interval has not been established for this analyte in body fluid samples.
Test Performed by: ARUP Laboratories
500 Chipeta Way
Salt Lake City, UT 84108
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Sunday through Saturday
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
1 day
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
3 - 5 days
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test
ARUP Laboratories
CPT Code Information Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Medical Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.
84560
LOINC® Code Information Provides guidance in determining the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) values for the result codes returned for this test or profile.
