During normal working hours, cytology specimens will be brought to Specimen Receiving, Bldg 2. After hours, they will be turned over to the Senior Laboratory Technician.
All non-GYN specimen containers must be clearly labeled with the patient’s identification data. In addition, the following information must also be included on the chit:
-Date and time of collection.
-Specimen source.
If a body fluid specimen cannot be brought immediately to the cytology processing room, it must be refrigerated, and brought to the Laboratory as soon as possible.
