Ordering Recommendation
Use to predict the expression of red blood cell (RBC) antigen specificities, aid in the selection of antigen-negative RBCs for transfusion, assess risk for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, or resolve conflicting serologic antibody results. May be used for genotyping on whole blood specimens or for fetal genotyping. This test does not assess for RhD; to test for RhD, refer to RhD Gene (RHD) Copy Number (0051368).

Specimen Required
Fetal genotyping: Amniotic fluid
OR Cultured amniocytes: Two T-25 flasks at 80 percent confluency.
If the client is unable to culture, order test Cytogenetics Grow and Send (ARUP test code 0040182) in addition to this test and ARUP will culture upon receipt (culturing fees will apply). If you have any questions, contact ARUP's Genetics Processing at 800-522-2787 ext. 3301.
WITH maternal cell contamination specimen: Lavender (K2EDTA), Pink (K2EDTA), or Yellow (ACD Solution A or B).
OR Genotyping: Lavender (K2EDTA), Pink (K2EDTA)
Genotyping: Transport 3 mL whole blood. (Min: 1 mL)
Amniotic fluid: Transport 10 mL amniotic fluid in a sterile container. (Min: 5 mL)
Cultured amniocytes: Transport two T-25 flasks at 80 percent confluency filled with culture media. Backup cultures must be retained at the client's institution until testing is complete.
Maternal cell contamination specimen: Transport 3 mL whole blood (Min: 1 mL)
Cultured amniocytes: CRITICAL ROOM TEMPERATURE. Must be received within 48 hours of shipment due to lability of cells.
Whole blood or maternal cell contamination specimen: Refrigerated.
Plasma or serum; collection of specimens in sodium heparin tubes. Frozen specimens in glass collection tubes.
Maternal specimen is recommended for proper test interpretation if contamination of the fetal specimen from the mother is suspected. Order Maternal Cell Contamination.
Whole blood or maternal cell contamination specimen: Ambient: 72 hours; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: 1 month.
Fetal specimens: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable
