Whole Blood or Bone Marrow: CRITICAL REFRIGERATED. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.
Extracted RNA: CRITICAL FROZEN. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.
Serum, plasma, CSF, extracted DNA, RNA extracted by a non-CLIA lab, bone core, or FFPE tissue. Specimens collected in anticoagulants other than indicated. Severely hemolyzed or clotted specimens.

Interpretive Data
Refer to report.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
This reflex assay is recommended when the BCR-ABL1 fusion form is not known or unclear. This reflex assay detects the presence of either the p210 (major breakpoint), p190 (minor breakpoint), or p230 (micro breakpoint). If the presence of either the p210 or p190 BCR-ABL1 fusion is detected, then the appropriate quantitative test will be performed. Additional charges apply.
If the fusion form is known, refer to BCR-ABL1, Major (p210), Quantitative (ARUP test code 2005017) or BCR-ABL1, Minor (p190), Quantitative (ARUP test code 2005016).
