1. Prescriber Portal

   We have a secure Prescriber Portal for clinicians practicing in the U.S. The portal allows practitioners to order tests and retrieve and review results.

   Create a profile in the Prescriber Portal.

   Place an order for the Autoimmune Encephalitis Syndrome Panel™ and submit the patient’s information.

2. Specimen Collection Supplies

   We will send specimen collection supplies by express shipping to the patient address provided, which may require about 2-3 business days to arrive, depending on the patient’s location.

   Clinicians who will perform the blood collection at their facility may order specimen collection supplies through the online portal or by calling us at (405) 239-5250.

3. Specimen Collection

   The patient will need to have blood collected at your site or an alternate phlebotomy location. IMPORTANT: Blood must be collected into the two glass red-top tubes provided, the serum separated and transferred to the serum transfer tube provided. The Red Top Glass tubes (provided) are the only validated tubes for this panel. Blood collected in any other tubes must be rejected. In cases where the blood cannot be centrifuged, whole blood can be accepted (refer to the Specimen Collection Instructions included with the collection supplies for details).

4. Specimen Return

   The serum sample and the completed patient forms (provided in the specimen collection supplies) must be sent to Moleculera Labs overnight (shipping label provided, and shipping costs covered by Moleculera).

• SPECIMENS MUST ARRIVE ON A MOLECULERA BUSINESS DAY. Our facility is closed and unable to receive specimens on weekends and holidays.
