New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York state approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Whole blood or bone marrow in lavender (EDTA) or FFPE tumor tissue.

Specimen Preparation

Whole Blood : Do not freeze. Transport 5 mL whole blood. (Min: 1 mL)
Bone Marrow : Do not freeze. Transport 3 mL bone marrow. (Min: 1 mL)
FFPE Tumor Tissue : Formalin-fixed (10 percent neutral buffered formalin) and paraffin-embedded tissue. Protect from excessive heat. Transport tissue in a tissue transport kit (ARUP Supply #47808) available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect(TM) or contact ARUP Client Services at 800-522-2787.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Whole Blood, Bone Marrow: Refrigerated
FFPE Tumor Tissue : Room temperature. Also acceptable: Refrigerated. Ship in cooled container during summer months.

Unacceptable Conditions

Plasma, serum. Specimens collected in anticoagulants other than EDTA. Clotted or grossly hemolyzed specimens.
FFPE Tumor Tissue: Specimens fixed in any fixative other than 10 percent neutral buffered formalin.
Bone specimens submitted in non-EDTA decalcifier.

Remarks

If multiple specimens (blocks or slides) are sent to ARUP, they must be accompanied by one of the following: an order comment indicating that the ARUP pathologist should choose the specimen most appropriate for testing (e.g., "Choose best block"), or individual orders for each sample submitted. A Pathologist Block Selection Fee (ARUP test code 3002076) will be added to orders that utilize the first option. If multiple specimens are sent to ARUP without a request for pathologist block/slide selection or individual orders, they will be held until clarification is provided.

Stability

Whole Blood or Bone Marrow: Refrigerated: 7 days; Frozen: Unacceptable
FFPE Tumor Tissue: Ambient: Indefinitely; Refrigerated: Indefinitely; Frozen: Unacceptable
