| Description: | Mycoplasma genitalium Resistance |
| Preparation: | Samples must be taken as per the tube manufacturer's processing instructions. |
| Vessels and Containers: | Abbott Multicollect Specimen Collection Kit |
| Sample requirements: | Samples can be taken from the following anatomical sites using the Abbott Multicollect Specimen Collection Kit: |
| Interference: | The results obtained for this assay depend on adequate identification, collection, transport, storage and processing of samples. To avoid incorrect results, it is therefore necessary to take care during these steps and to carefully follow the instructions. Results obtained must be interpreted taking into consideration the clinical data and other laboratory tests. |
| Important Information: | Website Updated: November 2025 |
| Alias: | Internal test code: RGEN |
| Transportation and Handling: | At room temperature |
| Special Precautions: | Samples for nucelic acid detection must be transported immediately as delay in sample receipt and processing may decrease the assay sensitivity. If a delay for any Virology samples is unavoidable, loss of sensitivity can be decreased by storing samples centrifuged and upright at 4 degrees for 3 days however testing needs to be performed within this timeframe. |
| Time limits for requesting additional examinations: | Sample available in this laboratory for approximately 3 weeks. Test can only be added to samples already received by Virology |
