Alerts

  • ALERT: Reagents for the ACTH assay are on backorder by the manufacturer. We anticipate our current supply to last until 8/7, after which ACTH testing will pause. Subsequent samples will be frozen until we can resume. The manufacturer's expected end date for the backorder is 10/8. We are actively pursuing possible solutions and will keep you informed.

Serum Neutralization (SN) Antibody Titer Reporting Changes

Virology Laboratory

As of January 1, 2021 antibody titers for all SN tests moved from being reported as a serum dilution 50% endpoint value, to being reported as final dilutions or endpoint titers. The final dilution endpoint titer is consistent with the reporting system used by most diagnostic laboratories across the country. This change will facilitate inter-laboratory titer comparisons and SN interpretations as it will eliminate 50% endpoint antibody titers (i.e. 3, 6, 12, etc) from our result reports.
