Body fluid testing only performed on abdominal fluids including ascites, peritoneal, paracentesis and pleural fluids. Synovial fluids not acceptable for testing. The type/site of fluid submitted must be noted on the specimen and order. Fluid should be free of mucous, particulate matter, and be non-viscous. All of those factors can affect analysis and may render the fluid non-viable for testing.
