Enrichment and Cryopreservation of Plasma Cells
Use
This test is used for the CD138 enrichment of plasma cells or CD19 enrichment of B-cells and includes cryopreservation if required. It is primarily available for clinical trials or research purposes and does not include downstream assays such as flow cytometry or FISH analysis.
Special Instructions
For samples received more than 72 hours post-collection, all attempts will be made to process and report them. Stated turnaround times are for clinical use only and may change based on biopharma protocol requirements. Final TATs will be specified in the biopharma study contract.
Limitations
The test does not include downstream assays such as flow cytometry, FISH probing, or FISH analysis. It is for research use only and follows specific biopharma protocol requirements.
