Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody Panel I : 0050600

Mnemonic: EBV PAN

Ordering Recommendation: Aids in diagnosis of primary Epstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis after a suspected false-negative heterophile antibody (Monospot) test.
Methodology: Semi-Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Performed: Mon-Sun
Reported: 1-2 days
Specimen Required: Collect: Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation: Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transport 2 mL serum. (Min: 0.5 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of acute specimens. Mark specimens plainly as "acute" or "convalescent."

Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions: Tissue or urine. Contaminated or heat-inactivated specimens.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)
