Useful For
Screening tool for pregnant patients.
Positive or equivocal results of the Treponema Pallidum Antibodies assay will reflex to the RPR card test, with dilutions, at an additional charge. Samples negative by RPR card test are forwarded to Mayo Medical Laboratory for supplemental testing for T. Pallidum at an additional charge.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Confirmation will automatically be performed on all HBs Antigen positive patients at an additional charge.
If the antibody screen is positive, an antibody identification and titer will be performed. First time antibody identifications will reflex to red cell antigen typing for each antibody, and also to a DAT, polyspecific. The DAT, polyspecific will, in turn, reflex to a DAT-IgG and a DAT-C3d if positive. If the DAT-IgG is positive, an RBC elution will be performed. An additional charge will result for each of these reflexed tests if performed.
Urine culture isolates reflex to organism identification and antibiotic susceptibility test at an additional charge.

Specimen Collection and Handling
Submit all of the following:
1. SERUM GEL TUBE OR RED TOP: Spin specimen, separate from clot and send refrigerated.
2. LAVENDER TOP TUBE (EDTA): Mix well after draw and send refrigerated.
3. PINK TOP (EDTA): Send refrigerated.
4. URINE:
a. Submit a clean-catch midstream urine specimen in a sterile urine container and send refrigerated.
b. Collect first morning specimen when possible.
c. Organisms accumulate in bladder overnight, so first morning specimen provides the best yield.
d. Specimens collected at other times are more dilute and are not optimal.
