Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Panel
The Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Panel by flow cytometry is used to characterize the immunophenotype of a myeloblast population to aid in the diagnosis and subclassification of AML and other myeloid neoplasms.
This panel is best used in combination with the Leukemia/Lymphoma Panel.
Bone marrow aspirate: 2-3 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube
Peripheral blood: 5-7 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube
Specimens should be received within 24-48 Hours from collection to ensure acceptable cell viability. Peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate specimens can be stored and transported at room temperature. Other tissue biopsies and body fluids should be refrigerated but not frozen; please use a cold pack to transport these specimens, making sure the cold pack is not in direct contact with the specimen.

Leukemia/Lymphoma Panel for Lymph Node/Tissue Biopsies
This is a general panel used to screen lymph node and other tissue biopsies for the presence of lymphoproliferative disorders.
Incisional/excisional or core needle biopsy: Ideally, 1 cm3 of tissue completely immersed in RPMI. Testing can be successfully performed on smaller specimens if the tissue has adequate cellularity. The number of markers tested may be reduced if cellularity is insufficient. If RPMI is unavailable, tissue can be submitted wrapped in saline-moistened gauze but not submerged in saline.
Fine needle aspirate (FNA): 1:1 ratio of aspirate and RPMI; minimum 2 ml total
Specimens should be received within 24-48 Hours from collection to ensure sample integrity and acceptable cell viability. Specimens should be refrigerated but not frozen. Please use a cold pack for transport, making sure the cold pack is not in direct contact with the specimen

DNA Ploidy+
DNA stain propidium iodide is used to determine S-phase cell cycle fraction and DNA index as indicators of DNA ploidy. Clinical Significance DNA analysis is, after immunofluorescence, the second most important application of flow cytometry. By measuring the DNA content of individual cell, we can obtain information about their ploidy, of particular relevance in tumors, and, for a population, the distribution of cells across the cell cycle.
Flow cytometry testing can be performed on bone marrow aspirate, peripheral
blood, fresh bone marrow core biopsy, unfixed tissue, and body fluids.
Please see full specimen requirements for either Standard Leukemia/Lymphoma
Analysis or Extended Leukemia/Lymphoma Analysis.
Specimens should be received within 24-48 Hours from collection to ensure acceptable cell viability. Peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate specimens can be stored and transported at room temperature. Other tissue biopsies and body fluids should be refrigerated but not frozen; please use a cold pack to transport these specimens, making sure the cold pack is not in direct contact with the specimen.

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Panel+
The PNH Panel by flow cytometry is used to diagnose and monitor patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
Peripheral blood: 3 ml in purple top (EDTA) tube
Specimens should be received within 24 hours of draw time to ensure sample integrity and acceptable cell viability.

Hairy Cell Leukemia Panel
The Hairy Cell Leukemia Panel by flow cytometry is used to aid in the initial diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia or hairy cell leukemia variant or to assess for the presence of residual/relapsed disease. This panel is best used in combination with the Leukemia/Lymphoma Panel.
Bone marrow aspirate: 2-3 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube
Peripheral blood: 5-7 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube
Specimens should be received within 24-48 Hours from collection to ensure acceptable cell viability.

Plasma Cell Neoplasm Panel
The Plasma Cell Neoplasm Panel by flow cytometry is used to aid in the initial diagnosis of plasma cell neoplasms (i.e., plasma cell myeloma, plasmacytomas, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) or to assess for the presence of residual/relapsed disease. This panel is best used in combination with the Leukemia/Lymphoma Panel.
Bone marrow aspirate: 2-3 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube
Peripheral blood: 5-7 ml in green top (sodium heparin) or purple top (EDTA) tube Incisional/excisional or core needle biopsy: Ideally, 1 cm3 of tissue completely immersed in RPMI.
