Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
- Collection
- Urine: A urine preservative transport kit, with handling instructions, is available upon request. Perform urine collection (50 mL) at the physician's office or Patient Service Center (PSC) in a sterile 100 mL urine specimen container. Mix voided urine with PreservCyt, CytoLyt, or ethanol 50% in a 1:1 solution. Alternatively, mix urine with preservative Carbowax™ (2% polyethylene glycol in 50% ethanol) 2:1 (v:v). Bladder washings: Perform bladder washing collection (50 mL) at the physician's office in a sterile 100 mL urine specimen container. Mix bladder washing with PreservCyt, CytoLyt, or ethanol 50% in a 1:1 solution. Alternatively, mix bladder washing with preservative Carbowax (2% polyethylene glycol in 50% ethanol) 2:1(v:v). It is recommended that specimens be processed within 72 hours of collection. Samples received without preservative will be assayed; any study under these conditions yielding insufficient cells or an abnormal result should have a follow-up study with urine in a preservative. Cold packs are recommended during transportation. If bladder washing is not shipped immediately after collection, refrigerate immediately (Do Not Freeze). Under no circumstances should bladder-washing specimens be stored or shipped at temperatures at or above 37° C.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
