Effective today, 11/13/2018, the Immuknow assay performed by Viracor Eurofins Laboratory will be available as an orderable assay in EPIC.

Please order this assay as Immuknow or Cylex, and not as a Miscellaneous test.  The specimen collection procedures remain the same, namely collection of 6 ml of blood into a Sodium Heparin (green top) tube, kept at room temperature.

This enhancement will allow for improved reimbursement through pre-authorization, and improve turnaround time reporting into the EMR.

If you have any questions, please contact the Director-on-call for Clinical Chemistry (409-772-3197) or Cindy Lewing in the Sample Management laboratory (409-772-3302).
