Timely delivery/notification is essential. Please call 617-732-7981 for all incoming specimens.
Place fresh specimens in sterile saline or in a Falcon #3033 tube containing Hanks Balanced Salt Solution or PBS. This may be obtained from the Cytogenetics Laboratory upon request.
Please send the most viable-appearing portion of the specimen. Necrotic tissue and blood in the specimen hinder the growth of the viable cells in culture.
