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.
