Oncology Testing:
Lymphomas
-
Lymphoma is a disease of uncontrolled growth in white blood cell populations.
-
Tissue biopsy analysis can be useful in determining if a lymph node is cancerous or reactive. Any informative FISH probe can be applied to tissue biopsy specimens.
Sample Requirements:
-
Peripheral Blood or Bone Marrow
-
2-5mL in a sodium heparin (green top) tube. 5 mL in a EDTA (purple top) will be accepted but is not preferred.
-
Minimum: 1 mL
-
-
Storage: Room temperature if being shipped within 24 hours. Refrigerate if shipping will be delayed.
-
Stability: Sample is optimum if received within 48 hours
-
Transportation: Room temperature (do not freeze or fix)
-
FFPE Tissue sections
-
4-micron sections on positively charged slides; include one H&E slide
-
Minimum= 2 slides
-
-
Storage: Room temperature
-
Stability: Indefinite if stored at room temperature or refrigerated
-
Transportation: Room temperature. In summer, add cold pack to prevent melting
