Additional Codes
ALAB: MMRVG
Powerchart: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella Ab Panel
MA Cerner: MMRV Immune Status Profile, Serum
Test Method
Multiplex Flow Immunoassay; BioRad BioPlex
Specimen Requirement
Serum is preferred, EDTA or heparinized plasma are also acceptable. Gel tubes are acceptable.
Additional Specimen Collection Information
Collect blood in a serum or plasma gel tube (EDTA or heparin).
- Minimum volume: 500 mcL
- Hemolysis: > 2+ not acceptable
- Lipemia: > 3+ must be ultracentrifuged
- Icterus: no significant interference noted
- Storage: specimen is stable for up to 7 days refrigerated;
freeze at -20oC for long term storage.
Thoroughly mix thawed specimens; it is also recommended to centrifuge thawed specimens to remove gross particulate matter. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles (up to 3 cycles are acceptable).
Performance
Testing is performed Monday through Sunday.
Routine: Typically completed within 4 hours after the specimen
arrives at the testing site.
Reference Value
Positive: The presence of antibody suggests immunization or past or current infection
- Measles: Positive (≥1.1 AI)
- Mumps: Positive (≥1.1 AI)
- Rubella: Positive (≥10 AIU/mL)
- Varicella zoster: Positive (≥1.1 AI)
