Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This test was developed and validated by Labcorp and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. While Next Generation Sequencing is the primary methodology, Sanger sequence-based typing (SBT) may be utilized to resolve ambiguities as needed. Complete resolution of ambiguities may not always be achieved; those remaining will be reported as allele codes. Specimens unsuitable due to hemolysis or incorrect collection methods may be rejected.
