2 Specimen Collection Specimen Retrieval Kits Supplies and containers for our laboratory services are permitted by State and Federal laws. CGI will provide you, at no charge, with all the supplies you need: requisition forms, tubes, packaging transport forms, etc. Supply requests can be submitted to us by contacting your account manager or by contacting our accessioning department. You can reach the department by phone at (888) or by Sending Your Specimens When you first sign up with CGI, your account representative will help you determine your specific courier needs, which are decided according to your geographical location. Our service runs both day and night, based upon our clients schedules, to ensure that our clients are able to continue to operate according to their own established schedule. FedEx is available for all clients outside of our local geographic region. Regardless of the method used, CGI will provide prompt and efficient service to ensure that clients receive results in a timely manner. Our accessioning office can be reached by phone (888) , or by specimen@cancergenetics.com. Labeling Instructions Based on regulatory requirements, all specimen containers must be labeled with at least two patient identifiers such as, patient name and date of birth. Also, the collection dates and times must be on either the requisition or specimen container. All specimens received in the laboratory must have a completed requisition form with all appropriate information filled out, including: Patient name Patient DOB Collection data/time Specimen type/site Requesting physician 2

3 Bone Marrow Dry Tap Handling of a Bone Marrow Specimen Dry Tap CGI has a very high success rate with limited amounts of marrow as well as with more cellular aspirate specimens. The following specimen collection method can help our hemato-pathologists to reach a conclusive diagnosis on these types of specimens: 1. Collect 2 or more bone marrow core biopsies a. Make 5-10 touch imprint slides from the biopsies (for Cytology and ) Be sure to keep slides AWAY FROM FORMALIN Do not place open formalin jar anywhere near slides as the formalin fumes may affect the quality of morphologic evaluation Let all slides AIR DRY COMPLETELY before placing in the plastic container to prevent smudging b. Place the 1st bone marrow core biopsy in a Formalin jar (for Histology & IHC testing) c. Place the 2nd biopsy in RPMI media (for Flow Cytometry and/or Cytogenetics testing) Store in refrigerator until shipped d. Additional samples/clot should be submitted for histology 2. Indicate on REQUISITION that the specimen is a DRY TAP 3. Collect a peripheral blood specimen in a Sodium Heparin or green top tube (for possible Flow Cytometry and/or FISH testing, if indicated) 4. Collect a peripheral blood specimen in an EDTA or purple top tube (for possible molecular testing, if indicated) 5. Place each specimen in the Biohazard bag before placing in kit 6. Call or for a specimen pickup or contact your local account representative or client services if you have any questions. 3
