Test Code90414
CPT Codes
85025, 86355, 86356 (x5), 86357, 86359, 86361<br><strong>This test is not available for New York patient testing.</strong>
Includes
CBC (includes Differential and Platelets), and Phenotyping
Preferred Specimen
Whole blood collected in 1 full EDTA (lavender-top) tube
Minimum Volume
1-5 mL
Instructions
Specimen must be received in the testing lab within 48 hours of collection. Submit Monday through Thursday only.
Maintain and transport blood at room temperature. Avoid temperatures <15 degrees Celsius and >37 degrees Celsius. In hot weather, it may be necessary to pack the specimen in a container with insulating material around it and place this container inside another that contains a cold pack (ice pack) and absorbent material. This method will help retain the specimen at ambient temperature. For longitudinal studies, draw samples at the same time of day to minimize diurnal variation.
Clients: Contact the lab prior to ordering for special logistics arrangements.
PSC: Follow Short Stability Protocol.
Test available by prior arrangement only. Special sample collection and transportation arrangements must be made prior to ordering the test. Contact your local Customer Service department and request to speak to someone in Referral Testing department for specific instructions.
Submit Monday through Thursday only. Do not draw day before a holiday. Samples received > 48 hours after collection will be rejected. Date and time of draw are required and must be provided.
*Volumes less than 1 mL should be submitted in a Pediatric EDTA tube
