- Collection
- Submit green-top/yellow-top whole blood or 2 mL heparinized bone marrow. A freshly prepared smear (stained or unstained) is also recommended. A clinical summary or differential diagnosis is required along with specimen. Place a representative portion of fresh tissue (0.5 cm square) in sterile tissue culture medium such as RPM1-1640 (medium can be obtained by calling the laboratory at extension 4341) in a sterile container. Alternatively, place the tissue on a saline-soaked gauze pad in a sealed specimen cup and ship refrigerated. Do not suspend the tissue in saline. Please submit stained H & E slide, a copy of the pathology report and a brief clinical summary. Ship blood/bone marrow at room temperature. Ship tissue/fluid refrigerated.

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.
