Preferred:
cobas PCR Media Urine Kit - first catch urine
Note: The urine/media level should be between the two black lines on the cobas PCR Media urine tube label window (about 4.3 mL)
Also acceptable: 5 mL first catch urine in a sterile, leak-proof container (e.g., Power Cup) or in urine
preservative tubes (e.g., grey-topped C&S Preservative Plus urine tube w/ Boric Acid preservative)
Upon receipt in Lab, transfer any urine sample in a cup or in preservative tubes to a cobas PCR Media urine tube
Samples collected using cobas PCR Media (CPM) on patients >14 years old can be run in-house and do not require recollection
Storage/Transport Temperature
Refrigerated
Stability (from collection to initiation)
In cobas PCR Media
Room temperature: 12 months
Refrigerated: 12 months
Frozen: unacceptable
Not in cobas PCR media
Room temperature: 24 hours
Refrigerated: 7 days
Frozen: unacceptable
Performed
Sun-Sat
Reported
Next day
Methodology
NAA (Nucleic Acid Amplification)
Reference Interval
Not Detected (NDE)
Interpretive Data
This Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae (CT/NG) test is not intended to replace other exams or tests for diagnosis of urogenital infection. Patients may have cervicitis, urethritis, urinary tract infections, or vaginal infections due to other causes or concurrent infections with other agents.
Lab Department
Molecular Pathology
Testing Location
Intermountain Central Laboratory
Testing for patients <14 years old (birth to 13 years old) will not be performed at an Intermountain Health facility. These specimens will be sent following legal protocols set by the Children’s Justice Department to a reference lab where positive identification of organism is confirmed through repeat testing or alternate method.
