Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Quantitative, Real-time PCR (Nongraphical) With Reflex to HIV-1 GenoSure® MG

CPT: 87536
Print Share

Synonyms

  • HIV-1 Plasma Viremia
  • HIV-1 RNA by Real-time PCR, Quantitative
  • Reflex to Genotype
  • Viral Load

Test Includes

Reflex to genotype (at additional charge) if viral load is >500 copies/mL


Special Instructions

This procedure does not provide serial monitoring; it is intended for one-time use only. If serial monitoring is required, please order test 550422.


Expected Turnaround Time

5 - 13 days




Specimen Requirements


Specimen

Plasma, frozen


Volume

6 mL


Minimum Volume

4 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)


Container

Ship in a screw-cap polypropylene frozen transport tube.


Collection

Collect specimen in three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or three PPT™ 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°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.


Storage Instructions

Freeze. Stable at room temperature for one day or refrigerated for five days. Freeze for long-term storage.


Causes for Rejection

Hemolysis; green-top (heparin) tube; quantity not sufficient for analysis; frozen PPT™


Test Details


Use

Detect and quantitate HIV-1 in plasma with reflex to genotype (at additional charge) if viral load is >500 copies/mL. GenoSure® MG test detects mutations in the HIV viral genes that encode the HIV protease and polymerase (reverse transcriptase). Mutations in these genes have been associated with resistance to antiretroviral drugs.


Limitations

Assay range: 20−10,000,000 copies/mL


Methodology

Cobas® AmpliPrep/Cobas® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test, Version 2.0
