Mnemonic: EBV PAN 2

Ordering Recommendation: Aids in determining past or present Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection as well as susceptibility to future EBV infection. May be used in conjunction with EBV nuclear antigen to diagnose primary EBV infectious mononucleosis.
Methodology: Semi-Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Performed: Mon-Sun
Reported: 1-2 days
Specimen Required: Collect: Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation: Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 2 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.5 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Mark specimen plainly as "acute" or "convalescent."

Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions: Tissue or urine. Contaminated or heat-inactivated specimens.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)
