Test Overview

Detects rearrangements in T-cell receptor genes to diagnose lymphoma/leukemia.

Specimen Type

Whole Blood, Bone Marrow, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block or Slides fresh or Frozen tissue

Volume

5 mL whole blood, 1 mL bone marrow, five unstained slides at 10 μM or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block, tissue in RPMI or frozen

Specimen Container

Lavender-top (EDTA), yellow-top (ACD) tube, green-top (heparin) tube, tan-top (K2-EDTA) tube and pink-top (K2-EDTA) tube, FFPE tissue block or slides, tissue in RPMI or frozen

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

Fresh tissue should be placed in RPMI medium or shipped frozen on dry ice. Small samples (eg, punch biopsies, fine-needle aspirate) will also be accepted. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested
