Avoid contaminated, hemolyzed and lipemic samples.
Collection Comments
Do not collect in Orange Tube. Allow Gold tube to sit for 30 minutes to form clot. Spin for 10 minutes at 1100-1300 g in a swing bucket unit or 15 minutes in a fixed angle to separate cells from serum. Refrigerate spun tube. Remember to properly labeltube with patient name, DOB, test and collect date.
Storage/Transport Temperature
Refrigerated serum
Stability (from collection to initiation)
<48hours@ 2-8°C , for longer storage, store at -20°C
Ordering Recommendations
The NDNA Antibody IF QL test is a qualitative immunofluorescent procedure to detect antibodies to native DNA (dsDNA). High titers of anti-nDNA antibodies are seen almost exclusively in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may be involvedin the renal complications of SLE. This test may be ordered when there is a suspicion that the patient has SLE. The C. luciliae immunofluorescent test is best used for the diagnosis of SLE. It is a highly specific test for double stranded DNA.
