Preferred Specimen
MAYO LAB: TISSUE (Room Temperature) Min Vol: 1


Instructions
20 mL Amniotic fluid (Minimum 10 mL)


Transport Temperature
Specimen Type: Amniotic fluid Container/Tube: Preferred: Screw-capped, sterile centrifuge tubes; Acceptable: T-25 flasks of confluent cultured cells Specimen volume: 20 mL Collection Instructions: 1. Obtain amniotic fluid. 2. Transfer specimen to 2 sterile centrifuge tubes. 3. Specimen cannot be frozen. Specimen Stability Information: Refrigerated (preferred)/Ambient Additional Information: 1. A separate culture charge will be assessed under AFC / Amniotic Fluid Culture for Genetic Testing. 2. Alternatively, we will accept 2 T-25 flasks of confluent cultured cells from another laboratory sent refrigerated. Specimen Type: Chorionic villi Container/Tube: Preferred: 15-mL centrifuge tube; Acceptable: T-25 flasks of confluent cultured cells Specimen Volume: 20 mg Collection Instructions: 1. Obtain chorionic villus specimen. 2. Send specimen in transport media in 15-mL centrifuge tube. 3. Specimen cannot be frozen. Specimen Stability Information: Refrigerated (preferred) Additional Information: 1. A separate culture charge will be assessed under FBC / Fibroblast Culture for Genetic Testing. 2. Alternatively, we will accept 2 T-25 flasks of confluent cultured cells from another laboratory sent refrigerated. Specimen Type: Extracted DNA Container/Tube: Plastic microtube Specimen Volume: 50 mcL (concentration: > or =80 ng/mcL) Specimen Stability Information: Refrigerated (preferred)/Ambient Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (quantity not sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected. DNA: 50 mcL/ Amniotic Fluid: 10 mL/ Chorionic Villus: 5 mg
