Order Information
Results

Specimen Container	Lavender-top (EDTA) or plasma preparation tubes (PPT(TM)). Ship in two or more screw-cap polypropylene frozen transport tubes.
Specimen Type	Plasma, FROZEN
Volume	6 mL
Minimum Volume	4 mL (NOTE: This volume does NOT allow for repeat testing)
Temperature	FREEZE. A separate frozen sample is required for GenoSure PRIme portion of the test. Frozen sample preferred for viral load assay but also stable at room temperature for one day or refrigerated for five days. FREEZE for long-term storage.
Specimen Handling	Collect specimen in three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or three PPT(TM) tubes. Do NOT use green-top (heparin) tubes. Centrifuge specimen within six hours of collection. Transfer plasma to one or more SCREW-CAP polypropylene transport tube(s). Snap-cap or pop-top tubes should be avoided and may result in specimen rejection. Immediately freeze specimen at -20(degrees) C. DO NOT PLACE SAMPLES ON DRY ICE UNTIL COMPLETELY FROZEN. Ship specimens frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, PLEASE SUBMIT SEPARATE FROZEN SPECIMENS FOR EACH TEST REQUESTED.
Methodology	Cobas(R) AmpliPrep/Cobas(R) TaqMan(R) HIV-1 Test, Version 2.0
Unacceptable Conditions	Hemolysis; green-top (heparin) tube; nonfrozen specimens; specimens exposed to repeated freeze/thaw cycles; quantity not sufficient for analysis; frozen PPT(TM)
TAT From Set-Up	15 - 21 Days
