| SPECIMEN REQUIREMENTS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen | Specimen Volume (min) | Specimen Type | Specimen Container | Transport Environment |
| Preferred | 5 mL | Plasma | EDTA (Lavender Top) | Frozen |
| Instructions | Specimen Type: Lavender-top (EDTA) OR plasma preparation tube (PPT(TM)) Specimen Storage: FREEZE Specimen Collection: 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. Specimens collected in PPT(TM) need to be centrifuged within six hours and 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. Special Instructions: A separate frozen specimen is required for each frozen test ordered. Specimen Stability: Ambient: Not Available, Refrigerated : Not Available, Frozen: Not Available |

| GENERAL INFORMATION | |
|---|---|
| Expected TAT | 9 - 15 days |
| Clinical Use | Use: Detect resistance in HIV-1 to antiretroviral drugs targeted at the reverse transcriptase (nucleoside and nonnucleoside inhibitors) and protease. Limitations: This procedure may not be successful when the HIV viral load is <500 copies/mL plasma. If there is insufficient virus to produce results, HIV-1 RNA quantitation will be performed to confirm viral load, and the procedure will be billed at the account's prevailing fee. |
