Test Details
Methodology
C1q: enzyme immunoassay (EIA); C3d assay: enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
Result Turnaround Time
4 - 9 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
C1q binding; immune complexes, C3d circulating
Use
Detect circulating immune complexes (CIC)
Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Serum, frozen
Volume
Two 1 mL specimens in separate frozen tubes
Minimum Volume
Two 0.1 mL specimens in separate frozen tubes
Container
Red-top tube or gel-barrier tube
Collection Instructions
Transfer specimen to two plastic transport tubes before freezing. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.
Reference Range
See individual tests.
Storage Instructions
Freeze at -70°C or store on dry ice within six hours of collection. Specimen is stable for 14 days if stored at -70°C. Storage of specimens at -20°C will yield erroneous results.
