Fresh Tissue (10-30 mg STERILE) in 4oz. Ster Cont.
Minimum Collection Volume
25 mg of chorionic villi or other tissue in sterile culture medium is needed for 14 day turn around time (TAT).
or
1cm x 1cm or 2 mm punch biopsy in sterile culture medium.
If a lesser volume of chorionic villi or tissue is sent, the laboratory will attempt to perform the test requested. The laboratory cannot assure either a result and/or the ability to perform repeat testing and/or additional testing if the minimum volumes are not met.
Acceptable Specimen Collect Alternatives
For products of conception (POC) the preferred tissue is chorionic villi. If fetal tissue is sent, please ALSO send chorionic villi, if available.
Also acceptable: 1cm x 1cm or 2 mm punch biopsy, place in STERILE transport medium in STERILE leak-proof tubes.
The lab can provide tubes of transport medium - Call (513) 636-4474.
DO NOT USE FORMALIN, the tissue must be fresh and sterile in order to obtain cell growth.
Shipping/Handling Instructions (Lab Use Only)
Room Temperature. Burnet: Call GENETICS (6-4474) immediately upon arrival.
External Client Shipping and Handling
Store at room temperature / Use overnight shipping (protect from temperature extremes, no ice) or call the lab for local courier service (contact laboratory prior to drawing specimen to ensure courier area coverage). Do NOT spin tubes.
Stability (from collection to initiation)
SEND TO GENETICS to determine viability of specimen; Call the Genetics Lab at 513-636-4474 for pick up or for any questions or concerns about the specimen.
Notes
The preferred choice for specimen collection is listed above, however, if that tube type/container is not available please call the lab for advice on alternative specimen collection choices (513-636-4474). If the specimen is already collected in a different tube type, send the sample to the lab and we will make every effort to process and result the test.
DO NOT USE FORMALIN, the tissue must be fresh and sterile in order to obtain cell growth.
Collection personnel MUST initial specimen container to confirm sample identity. Label tubes with patient name and date of birth (DOB).
Specimen placed in formalin or non-sterile container.
Maternal decidua only in a POC sample. If no fetal tissue is found upon initial specimen examination by laboratory staff, the ordering physician will be called. The decision whether or not to proceed with testing can be made at that time.
