​Specimen Minimum Volume

​No​Whole Blood

Panorama Collection Kit

Refer to the collection Kit and follow the collection and mailing instructions provided in the kit, as well as the Collection Processing Instructions (below).

10 mL in each of two DNA Streck tubes​8 mL in each of two DNA Streck tubes ​
Collection Processing Instructions

​Collect the whole blood specimen using a 21 gauge straight needle, NOT a butterfly, as the use of butterfly needles can result in a need to redraw the specimen.  Completely fill TWO 10 mL cell free DNA Streck tubes supplied in the collection kit.  Allow 60-90 seconds for each tube to fill.  Vein collapse may require second venipuncture with a fresh tube. 

Gently invert each tube at least 10 times immediately after it is filled. Do not shake the tube(s) vigorously.  Do not seal tubes with paraffin film.  DO NOT REFRIGERATE OR FREEZE sample at any time.  Store and transport specimen tubes at ambient temperature (43-98 ºF or 6-37 ºC).

Test Information

​The Panorama Prenatal Panel is able to determine the likelihood that the pregnancy could be affected with chromosome abnormalities including Down syndrome (trisomy 21), trisomy 18, trisomy 13, monosomy X and triploidy; and 22q11.2 deletion.  While it is not the sole purpose of the test, the sex of the baby can also be screened for using Panorama.

Reference Range Information

An interpretive report will be provided

Interpretation

​An interpretive report will be provided.

Panorama is a screening test, which means that Panorama does not make a final diagnosis. A high-risk Panorama result means that a pregnancy could be affected by the condition that has screened positive. However, it cannot be known for sure if a baby has that condition based upon screening results alone. All medical decisions should be made after discussion with a heathcare provider regarding diagnostic testing during the pregnancy, like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or testing the baby after delivery.
