Downtime form: A-1a Doctor/Provider Orders - Pathology Molecular
Molecular Pathology
6240 RCP
384-9568
Specimen(s):
Bone Marrow Aspirate, Peripheral Blood
Specimen Instructions:
Testing requires dedicated collection tube. DO NOT CENTRIFUGE.
Collection Medium:
Pink top tube 6 mL (K2-EDTA)
Minimum:
5.0 mL Bone Marrow Aspirate or Peripheral Blood in EDTA anti-coagulated pink top tube
Delivery Instructions:
Deliver to laboratory immediately after collection.
Turn Around Time:
7-10 days upon receipt in laboratory
Methodology:
The PML-RAR (t(15:17)) RNA Quantitation assay uses multiplex reverse transcription in combination with droplet digital PCR technology. The assay can reliably detect 1 tumor cell in a background of 20,000 normal cells. The limit of quantitation is 0.01% NPM1/ABL1 ratio.
