What this test screens for
Understanding the TB (PPD / QuantiFERON)
Tuberculosis screening at our Chantilly lab — required for nursing students, healthcare workers, childcare staff, schools, and many immigration applications. You can choose either option: the PPD (TST) skin test or the QuantiFERON-TB Gold blood test. Current published pricing is $89; confirm at booking.
The PPD skin test is the long-standing standard — a small amount of purified tuberculin protein is injected into your forearm and read 48 to 72 hours later by trained staff. Two visits are required: the injection and the reading. Missing the 48-to-72-hour reading window means the test must be repeated.
The QuantiFERON-TB Gold blood test is a single-visit alternative that measures your immune response to TB-specific proteins. It is preferred for BCG-vaccinated individuals (BCG vaccination can cause false-positive PPD reactions) and for clients whose return visit is hard to schedule. Results post to your portal within 24 to 72 hours.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting or special prep. Bring photo ID and any TB clearance form your school, employer, or program issued — we will complete it at check-in. If you have a known BCG vaccination history, mention it; the QuantiFERON blood test is generally preferred to avoid false positives.
During your visit
For the PPD: a small intradermal injection in your forearm and a scheduled return appointment 48 to 72 hours later for the read. The reader measures the induration (raised area), not the redness, and documents the result. For the QuantiFERON: a single small blood draw — no return visit required.
Getting your results
PPD results are documented at the in-office reading; we provide a signed, stamped lab report you can submit. QuantiFERON results post to your secure online portal within 24 to 72 hours. We can also fax results directly to your school or employer at no additional charge.
Confidential

FAQ
TB Test (PPD / QuantiFERON) — what people ask
Specific questions about the tb test (ppd / quantiferon). For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
Which TB test should I choose — PPD or QuantiFERON?
Choose QuantiFERON if you were vaccinated with BCG (the blood test is not affected by BCG), if returning for the PPD reading is hard to schedule, or if your nursing program specifically requires it. Choose PPD if your program or employer explicitly requires the skin test or you prefer the lower-prick option.
How much does TB testing cost in Chantilly?
Current published pricing for our TB test is $89, payable at the visit by cash, credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card. Both the PPD skin test and the QuantiFERON blood test are offered; confirm current pricing for your chosen test at booking. No insurance, no doctor referral, no surprise bills.
Will my school or employer accept your TB report?
Yes. We provide a signed and stamped lab report with your name, date of test, type of test, and result. Most schools, nursing programs, healthcare employers, and immigration officials accept it as-is. Bring any specific program form and we will complete it during your visit.
