Comments: |
-
For detection of of a rise in Ab (indicative of current infection) paired sera (acute and convalescent) are required 14 days apart.
- Paired samples must be processed at the same time; the first of the pair needs to be separated and frozen until the second sample arrives. If the first of the pair has already been processed, it will need to re-tested with the second sample (ie it would need to be run, and charged for, twice).
- Store whole blood at 4oC, but if transport is delayed it is necessary to separate the serum from the cells.
