Test Name Alias

Adenovirus Quant PCR | Adenovirus DNA Quant | 7019

Interface Order Alias

11756

Quick Collect

+A

Clinical Information

Results are reported in copies per milliliter (c/mL).  The lower quantitative sensitivity was validated to 200 c/mL.  To facilitate longitudinal tracking, if no viral DNA is detected, the result is reported as 0 (zero).  Low positive results, below 200 c/mL, will be reported, but should be interpreted with caution.  Viral loads greater than the upper limit of the assay are reported as >10 million.
