Specimen Requirements: 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. Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service. Submit only 1 of the following specimens: Specimen Type: Amniotic fluid Container/Tube: Amniotic fluid container Specimen Volume: 20-25 mL Collection Instructions: 1. Optimal timing for specimen collection is during 14 to 18 weeks of gestation, but specimens collected at other weeks of gestation are also accepted. Provide gestational age at the time of amniocentesis. 2. Discard the first 2 mL of amniotic fluid. Additional Information: 1. Place the tubes in a Styrofoam container (Supply T329). 2. Fill remaining space with packing material. 3. Unavoidably, about 1% to 2% of mailed-in specimens are not viable. 4. Bloody specimens are undesirable. 5. If the specimen does not grow in culture, you will be notified within 7 days of receipt. 6. Results will be reported and also telephoned or faxed, if requested. Specimen Type: Blood Container/Tube: Green top (sodium heparin) Specimen Volume: 5 mL Collection Instructions: 1. Invert several times to mix blood. 2. Other anticoagulants are not recommended and are harmful to the viability of the cells. Specimen Type: Bone marrow Container/Tube: Green top (sodium heparin) Specimen Volume: 1-2 mL Collection Instructions: 1. Invert several times to mix bone marrow. 2. Other anticoagulants are not recommended and are harmful to the viability of the cells. Specimen Type: Chorionic villi Container/Tube: 15-mL tube containing 15 mL of transport media Specimen Volume: 20-30 mg Collection Instructions: 1. Collect specimen by the transabdominal or transcervical method. 2. Transfer the chorionic villi to a Petri dish containing transport medium. 3. Using a stereomicroscope and sterile forceps, assess the quality and quantity of the villi and remove any blood clots and maternal decidua.Specimen Type: Lymph node Container/Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank’s balanced salt solution (Supply T132), Ringer’s solution, or normal saline. Specimen Volume: 1 cm(3) Specimen Type: Skin biopsy Container/Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank’s balanced salt solution (Supply T132), Ringer’s solution, or normal saline. Specimen Volume: 4-mm diameter Collection 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. A local anesthetic may be used. 5. Biopsy specimens are best taken by punch biopsy to include full thickness of dermis. Specimen Type: Tissue block or slide Preferred: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block and 1 hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide. Acceptable: Four consecutive, unstained, 5-micron thick sections placed on positively charged slides and 1 H and E-stained slide. Specimen Type: Tumor Container/Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank’s balanced salt solution (Supply T132), Ringer’s solution, or normal saline. Specimen Volume: 0.5-3 cm(3) or larger
