Lower limit of the therapeutic range is yet to be established, however levels of greater than 5 µg/mL appear to be adequate.This information will be updated as we refine the therapeutic range. Test interpretation requires full clinical information: drug dosage/frequency, previous exposure to other biologics, time of sampling, duration of therapy and clinical assessment.

Lower limit of detection 400copies per ml

Neonate (<4wks)   30-45 g/L

Infant (4wks-1yr)    30-45 g/L

1-16yrs                 30-50 g/L

Adult                    35-50 g/L
