Leukemia/Lymphoma Panel by Flow : 1003140
MessagePlease submit a copy of the most recent CBC with differential report and any clinical information related to the patient's disease state. If available, send the lavender top tube used for the CBC w/diff. The CBC w/diff is needed for the reporting of the flow cytometry interpretative results.

88184, 88185x 14 up to 23 or varies dependent on specimen type, 88189, additional testing may be added at the discretion of the Pathologist
Instructions
Peripheral blood in a green top sodium heparin tube (4-10 mL) or Bone Marrow aspirate in a green top sodium heparin tube (2-3 mL). A lavender top (EDTA) tube is acceptable if a green top tube is not available. Other acceptable specimens: Tissue, Fluid, or CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)
Transport Container
Blood or Bone Marrow: specimen must be received within 24 hours of collection. Do not centrifuge. Tissue samples should be placed in appropriate Tissue Transport Media (available on request). Submit fluid samples (desired: > or = 50 mL when possible) or CSF (desired: 2-3 mL) in a screw capped container or tube. Note: Smaller volumes of fluid samples may be accepted depending on source and cellularity of the specimen. Please contact the laboratory if the appropriateness of source or volume of sample is in question.
Transport Temperature
Blood or Bone Marrow: Ambient temperature within 24 hours. Specimen can be refrigerated if not transported immediately. Do not freeze. Protect from heat with a refrigerated cold (not frozen) pack. Tissue, Fluid or CSF: Ambient.
