Plasma Phosphorylated Tau 217
16 days
Simoa® assay or Lumipulse® assay
Accredited Laboratory Partner
Weekly
This test is used to assist with ascertaining the cause of neurological impairment, in the context of Alzheimer's disease pathology, by measuring phosphorylated tau 217, which acts as a surrogate marker of amyloid pathology. Additionally, the test can be used for monitoring patients on newly approved anti-amyloid therapy. The methodology (SIMOA) offers increased sensitivity compared to other methods, and is able to detect very small amounts of the biomarker.
EDTA Plasma
4 mL
K2 EDTA lavender-top/K2 Pink vacutainer tubes
Samples should be collected following overnight fasting
Transport to the laboratory immediately following collection. If this is not possible, samples should be stored refrigerated (2-8° C)
| Temperature | Period |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated | 3 days |
