Blood & bone marrow aspirate: 15 mL centrifuge tube with transport media (RPMI, FBS, L-Glutamine, Sodium Heparin and PenStrep). Available from Cytogenetics. Dark Green top also acceptable
Bone marrow core: 15 mL centrifuge tube with transport media (RPMI, FBS, L-Glutamine, Sodium Heparin and PenStrep). Available from Cytogenetics.
Amount to Collect
See preferred volume.
Preferred Volume
Whole blood: 2 mL
Bone marrow aspirate: 2 mL
?Bone marrow biopsy: 2 cm
Minimum Volume
Whole blood: 1 mL
Bone marrow aspirate: 1 mL
?Bone marrow biopsy: 1 cm
Remarks
Bone marrow is the preferred specimen, but heparinized peripheral blood may be submitted if a large number of malignant cells are present.
Collect bone marrow in a syringe, transfer to Dark Green top vacutainer and gently invert the tube several times for good mixing.
If a dry tap is obtained, consult the Laboratory Medicine resident in Hematology regarding the possible submission of a green top tube of peripheral blood.
Contact Hematology if the specimen is more than 24 hours old.
