Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing

Varies

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.

Container/Tube: Agar slant or other appropriate media

Specimen Volume: Organism in pure culture

 

Collection Instructions:

  1. Organism must be in pure culture, actively growing.
  2. Place specimen in a large infectious container (Supply T146) and label as an etiologic agent.

Reject Due To Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected

Specimens other than

Actively growing mold in pure culture

Anticoagulants other than

NA

Hemolysis

NA

Thawing

NA

Lipemia

NA

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.

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.

Monday

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.

4-10 days

Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result

6-12 days

Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

U.T. Health Science Ctr San Antonio
