Test Overview

This cutting-edge genomic test detects genome-wide chromosomal gains and losses from ultra-low input material—using a few CD138+ plasma cells. Unlike conventional karyotyping, which requires mitotic cell culture and often excludes the malignant plasma cell population, this assay analyses DNA directly from enriched CD138+ cells, providing a more accurate and clinically relevant genomic profile

Specimen Type

Bone marrow aspirate

Volume

2-3 mL

Specimen Container

Sodium heparin (green top) tube

Patient Preparation

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat, drink, and take your medications as normal, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Collection

This test does not require any special collection or pre-analytical handling. Follow routine specimen collection protocols.
