For the safety of our patients and employees in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, the current winter weather may affect patient service center hours. Please review the list of affected locations for further information.
3 - 7 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Plasma, frozen
0.5 mL
0.1 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing)
Green-top (sodium heparin) tube
Transfer plasma to a plastic transport tube and freeze. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen specimens, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.
Frozen: 983 days (2.7 years)
Freeze/Thaw Cycle: Stable x3
Specimen thawed or not frozen; gross hemolysis; specimen type other than frozen plasma
Used in the diagnosis and monitoring of inherited disorders of fatty acid oxidation and organic acidurias. May be used as a follow-up test to some abnormal newborn screen results.
False-negative results can occur with acylcarnitine profiling, especially when the patient is carnitine deficient, is affected with a milder variant of a disorder, or when clinical condition or dietary supplementation causes secondary changes to the profile. Results of acylcarnitine profiling should be interpreted in the context of clinical presentation as well as other laboratory tests, which may include urine organic acid analysis and molecular testing.
This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined, by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
