POC, Stillbirth, Autopsy Chromosome Microarray

A maternal blood sample(LAB16010) is requested when ordering this test. Testing will not be rejected if maternal blood is not received; however, the possibility of maternal cell contamination cannot be excluded. If an insufficient sample is received or MCC is identified in the prenatal sample, microarray testing will be performed on cultured material. Provide a reason for referral with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided, but appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed. Notify the laboratory if the pregnancy involves an egg Donor or gestational carrier. Submit only 1 of the following specimens: Products of conception or stillbirthcontainer /Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank' s solution, Ringer's solution, or normal salineSpecimen Volume: 1 cubic cm of placenta (including 50-mg chorionic villi) and 1 cubic cm biopsy specimen of muscle/fascia from the thighCollection Instructions: 1. Attempt to identify and send only fetal tissue for analysis. 2. If a fetus cannot be specifically identified, collect 50-mg villus material or tissue that appears to be of fetal origin. 3. If multiple specimen types are sent, send each specimen in a separate container . Multiple specimens received (eg, placenta and fetal thigh) will be ordered under 1 test. All specimens will be processed separately. Additional Information: 1. Do not send entire fetus. 2. While fresher specimens prepared as described above are preferred, we can attempt analysis on specimens that have been in less-than-ideal conditions. Autopsycontainer /Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank' s solution, Ringer's solution, or normal salineSpecimen Volume: 1 cubic cm biopsy specimen of muscle/fascia from the thighCollection Instructions: 1. Wash biopsy site with an antiseptic soap. 2. Thoroughly rinse area with sterile water. 3. Do not use alcohol or iodine preparations. 4. Biopsy specimens are best taken by punch biopsy to include full thickness of dermis.
