Collect

3 mL whole blood in lavender top (EDTA) OR 6 cytobrushes OR Saliva (use Saliva collection kit).

Collection personnel MUST initial specimen container to confirm sample identity.

For a free cytobrush or saliva collection kit, please call 513-636-4474.

Minimum Collection Volume

3 mL whole blood in lavender top (EDTA) OR 6 cytobrushes OR completed saliva kit.

If a lesser volume of blood or saliva, or a smaller number of cytobrushes 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

The laboratory can obtain results for this test using different specimen types. For best results, send one of the specimen type(s) listed above.  If only an alternate specimen typeis available, please call the laboratory at (513) 636-4474 for more information on how to obtain and/or handle any alternate specimen types.

If DNA is sent as a specimen for this assay, the DNA must have been extracted at a CLIA and/or CAP accredited laboratory.
