How to order

Help

Acceptable specimen sources are blood, extracted DNA (gDNA), saliva and buccal swab. Peripheral Whole Blood: 3-5mL in EDTA tube (lavender top). This is our preferred specimen type; Extracted DNA: 1ug DNA (please indicate sample source on test request form); Saliva: Use DNA Genotek Oragene DNA (OG-500) kit. Buccal swab: Collect using Copan hDNAFree FLOQSwabs (Cat# 50E010D01) or IsoHelix RapiDri Buccal swab with self-drying pouch (Cat# RD-01) according to manufacturer’s instructions. All samples should be shipped Sunday through Thursday (next day delivery only). Contact for availability of alternative shipping schedules and additional shipping requirements. Shipping is acceptable at ambient or refrigerated temperature. Any blood samples collected and not shipped immediately should be refrigerated and shipped overnight as soon as possible (less than 5-7 days after collection) to ensure specimen stability and quality.

Clinical validity

Help

To determine the diagnostic sensitivity, we utilized the manufacturer’s recommended input concentration and analysis QC thresholds. We demonstrated adherence to our validation threshold (i.e. ≥ 95% sensitivity) in detection of true positive results, with a false negative rate of ≤ 5%. To determine the diagnostic specificity, we utilized the manufacturer’s recommended input concentration and analysis QC thresholds. The PharmacoScan™ Assay demonstrated ≥ 99% sensitivity in detecting the correct genotypes of each sample tested.

This test ideally is utilized pre-emptively (prior to receiving drug medication) or as a reflex testing when an adverse reaction to a medication has been observed. 000 Acceptable specimen sources are blood, extracted DNA (gDNA), saliva and buccal swab.
