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

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.
