![[ image for: Time Sensitive]](icon_1.jpg){kind=icon} | Time Sensitive |
| Test Mnemonic: NEO T-CELL | |
|
Methodology: Flow Cytometry
Performed: Sun-Sat Reported: 2-4 days |
| Specimen Required: | |
|
Collect: One 6 mL green (sodium heparin).
Transport: 5 mL whole blood at 20-25°C. Remarks: If previous leukemia/lymphoma phenotyping was performed, but not at ARUP, the outside flow cytometry report and histograms (if possible) should accompany the specimen. Specimen should be received within 24 hours of collection for optimal viability. In addition, please provide CBC, Wright's stained smear, clinical history, differential diagnosis, and any relevant pathology reports. Stability: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 48 hours; Frozen: Unacceptable |

| Note: | |
| This assay is for monitoring neoplastic T-cells using flow cytometry in patients previously diagnosed with a mature T-cell neoplasm. Most mature T-cell neoplasms demonstrate phenotypic aberrancies that can be identified by flow cytometry. |
