Source Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood or DNA
Mnemonic MH MISC
Specimen Requirements Test is performed on certain remaining bone marrow specimens after Flow Cytometric analysis.
NO separate specimen is required if specimen was collected in EDTA tube (lavender top).

Specimens collected in heparin (green tubes) are unacceptable for Molecular Assays.
Specimen Handling Send bone marrow specimens with flow cytometry tests and NPM1 to Flow Cytometry. Data enter only flow test mnemonics.

Specimens for NPM1 will be sent directly to Molecular Hematology from Flow Cytometry. Molecular Hematology will data enter the mnemonic MH MISC as required.

DSC Accession: after 16:30, store at 4ºC.
