| Description: | Polyoma BK Virus Urine |
| Preparation: | Samples must be taken as per the tube manufacturer's processing instructions. |
| Vessels and Containers: | Urine sample in white top Universal container |
| Sample requirements: | Urine sample in white top Universal container |
| 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. |
| How result is reported: | Not detected, Detected |
| Important Information: | Website Updated: September 2025 |
| Comments: | Internal test code – RBKP |
| Transportation and Handling: | Transport at room temperature. |
| Special Precautions: | Samples for nucleic 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 upright at 4 C. |
| 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. |
