About TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA)
TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is a targeted infectious disease laboratory test that measures or evaluates TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) in the submitted patient specimen to support latent tb screening. It is commonly requested for latent tb screening, helping clinicians combine the laboratory finding with symptoms, examination findings and other investigations. A properly collected whole blood specimen is analysed using IGRA, with the reported value or finding interpreted against the laboratory's validated procedure and applicable reference information. A negative or positive result must be interpreted in relation to the timing of exposure, symptoms, treatment history and the diagnostic window of the method used.
Sample & Submission Guide
How to package the sample
Collect venous blood into the specified EDTA or whole-blood tube, fill to the required level and mix gently by inversion immediately after collection. Keep the tube capped and upright; do not submit clotted, leaking or grossly haemolysed material. Place the labelled tube in a sealed biohazard specimen bag with sufficient absorbent material and protect it from heat, direct sunlight and freezing. Deliver to the laboratory as soon as practical so cellular integrity is maintained for this test. For TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA), use packaging and preservation compatible with IGRA; if the receiving laboratory supplies a dedicated collection kit, bottle or transport medium, that kit takes precedence over general packaging guidance.

Other important instructions
For TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA), provide the date of symptom onset or suspected exposure, relevant vaccination status where applicable, and any antimicrobial or antiviral treatment already started. Very early or late sampling can affect detectability, and a negative result may not exclude infection when the target is below the method's detection limit. Follow infection-control precautions during collection and do not combine specimens from different sites unless the laboratory specifically requests it.
