| SPECIMEN INFO |
| Collection Date & Time: |
| Collected By: |
| Hospital: |
Test ID :
LAB4505
Specimen Type:
5 mL first-catch urine collected in sterile container.
GeneXpert swab collected from vaginal/endocervical source in GeneXpert swab transport reagent tube.
Minimum Volume:
Urine minimum volume is 2.0 mL.
Cause for Rejection:
Quantity not sufficient, improper specimen type, improper storage/transport, mislabeled, or unlabeled. Eswabs are not acceptable.
Storage:
Transport at room temperature. Upon arrival in laboratory, store refrigerated.
Availability:
Mon-Sun (08:00-15:00)
Methodology:
DNA PCR technique specific for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Special Instructions:
Test is FDA approved for genital and urine specimens only. This method is not acceptable for forensic cases (e.g. rape or child abuse). Grossly blood specimens may affect result. Obtain cervical/vaginal collection kits from the Central Core Laboratory or the Virology Laboratory. Urine must be first-void, not midstream; urine collection volumes of >50.0 mL will decrease sensitivity of the test. Positive urine samples from patients under the age of 14 years will be sent out to a reference laboratory for CT/NG RNA PCR (confirmatory testing).
