Specimen Collection
Special Instructions
Call Flow Cytometry Lab at 937-208-6687 upon collection to arrange for transportation
Preferred Specimen
VENOUS PERIPHERAL BLOOD: 5 mL peripheral blood Sodium Heparin (dark green top) tube and 5 mL peripheral blood K2EDTA (lavender top) tube, keep both at room temperature, results of a current CBC and a peripheral blood smear may be submitted in place of the K2EDTA lavender top tube. (minimum 2 - 3 mLs)
BONE MARROW ASPIRATE: 1 mL bone marrow aspirate Sodium Heparin (dark green top) tube, 1 unstained aspirate smear, 1 wright stained aspirate smear, and 5 mL peripheral blood K2EDTA (lavender top) tube, keep both at room temperature, results of a current CBC and a peripheral blood smear may be submitted in place of the K2EDTA lavender top tube. (minimum 1 mL)
FLUIDS: 2 mL of fluid in Sodium Heparin (dark green top) tube to prevent clotting and keep at room temperature.
CSF: 2 - 4 mL. Keep refrigerated for transport. MUST CALL prior to collection for CSF.
FRESH TISSUE: send specimen in media or saline soaked gauze at room temperature with an H&E slide the following day.
