7.5 mL (2.9 mL minimum) collected in tiger top tube or lavender EDTA tube Collection: Two samples must be submitted. HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc Total: If tube other than a gel-barrier tube is used, transfer separated serum or plasma to a plastic transport tube. HBV DNA: Centrifuge sample within 24 hours of collection. Transfer serum/plasma to a screw-cap polypropylene transport tube. Ship frozen (preferred). Plasma from a PPT can be frozen in situ. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit a separate frozen specimen for each test requested. If reflex test is performed, additional charges/CPT code(s) may apply. This test may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R). It is recommended to ask all patients who may be indicated for this test about biotin supplementation. Patients should be cautioned to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of a sample. Test Includes: Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Screen [006510]; Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (anti-HBs) [006395]; Hepatitis B Core Antibody, Total (anti-HBc) [006718]. Reflex of HBsAg + to: HBV quant DNA [551610].

Specimen: 7.5 mL Serum or EDTA plasm Minimum Volume: 2.9 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.) Container: Gel-barrier tube, red top tube, or lavender-top (EDTA) tube Collection: Two samples must be submitted. HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc Total: If tube other than a gel-barrier tube is used, transfer separated serum or plasma to a plastic transport tube. HBV DNA: Centrifuge sample within 24 hours of collection. Transfer serum/plasma to a screw-cap polypropylene transport tube. Ship frozen (preferred). Plasma from a PPT can be frozen in situ. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit a separate frozen specimen for each test requested. Transport Temperature: Refrigerate Specimen Stability: HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc Total: Room temperature: 14 days Refrigerated: 14 days Frozen: 14 days HBV DNA: Room temperature: 24 hours Refrigerated: 6 days Frozen: 12 weeks Cause for Rejection: Heat-inactivated specimens; cord blood; cadaveric specimens; or body fluid other than serum or EDTA plasma; gross hemolysis; excessive lipemia; improper labeling. Report available: 1-5 days
