Optimal Volume: | 10 mL blood; 3 mL bone marrow |
Minimum\Peds Volume: | 3 mL blood; 1 mL bone marrow |
Container: | Yellow (ACD, Solution A) tube available from laboratory Alternate Containers: Purple (EDTA) |
Collection Instructions: | Bone marrow clot acceptable for testing. |
Causes for Rejection: | Whole blood: frozen or clotted specimen, incorrect anticoagulant, specimen more than 5 days old. All testing will be cancelled if engraftment testing is 100% donor engrafted in consultation with clinician.
Shared blood or bone marrow samples will not be accepted unless sent to Molecular first. Contamination will occur on automated hematology analyzers. |

Specimen Processing: | Do not process. Store at room temperature. |
Shipping Instructions: | Ship at room temperature. Do not refrigerate or freeze. |
Stability: | Whole blood samples are stable for 5 days at room temperature. Do not refrigerate or freeze. |
Test Performed at or Referral Lab | Molecular Diagnostics (UMMC East Bank) |
Interpretive
Reference Range: | See interpretive report.
Two reports are sent with this testing. The first report is sent at 3-5 days with results of PCR/digest assay, and the second report is sent at 10-14 days and includes the results of NGS assay. Testing of FLT3 alone may be considered in follow-up of FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, in these cases consider ordering the follow-up AML panel (LAB8047). |
