&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;This test is an effective tool for detecting spinal fluid presence in bodily fluids like ear or nasal discharge. This is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea or otorrhea, where CSF leaks into the nasal passages or ear canal, often due to various factors including head trauma or surgery. Traditional methods like chemical analyses are unreliable, and radiographic studies can be costly and risky. Beta-2 transferrin, a CSF-specific variant, serves as a reliable marker for CSF leakage, aiding in accurate diagnosis without the need for invasive procedures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;When using gauze to collect the specimen, mark the area where the specimen was gathered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Place the cotton swab or gauze in the smallest container available, such as a plain test tube or collection container.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Avoid using a culture swab to collect the specimen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Refrain from adding any liquid to the swab or gauze.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
