Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
CULFB | Fibroblast Culture for Genetic Test | Yes | No |
CULAF | Amniotic Fluid Culture/Genetic Test | Yes | No |
MATCC | Maternal Cell Contamination, B | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm
For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture will be added and charged separately. For any prenatal specimen that is received, maternal cell contamination studies will be added.
