MessageFor Specimen Integrity during Extreme Weather see the “Lockbox Usage in Extreme Weather” document at the top of this page.
Not approved by FDA.
This test employs a real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of a well conserved region of BKV VP2 gene. This test was developed and it's performance characteristics determined by CompuNet Clinical Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be considered as investigational or for research. This Laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high-complexity testing.
