Sterile vial/container
Senstivity is decreased with lower volumes of tissue or fluid
Preferred - Fluid or tissue for broad range bacterial DNA testing should be put in a sterile container by the provider at the time of the procedure. This ensures that the specimen won’t be opened until it reaches the testing laboratory and prevents the opportunity for contamination.
Acceptable - OK to add on to an open container. Order must be placed within 7 days of collection. Freeze immediately upon receipt of 16s order.
16s (broad range bacterial PCR) may be ordered on this same specimen, and will be performed at an additional charge. Order LAB12804
Contact the laboratory medical director through Client Services if there are questions.
Submit entire specimen, Frozen.
Sterile vial/container
Aspirate/fluid (abdominal, amniotic, ascitic, BAL, bile, CSF, cyst fluid, paracentesis, pericardial, pleural, synovial, thoracentesis or vitreous)
