Special Instructions
This is a technical component only; pathologist read is not included. Fresh tissues must be fixed appropriately and specimens may be transferred to 70% alcohol for transportation purposes after fixation.
Limitations
The test doesn't include a pathologist read, meaning interpretive analysis must be conducted separately. Specimens fixed in non-10% NBF solutions will be rejected, which limits the types of specimens that can be used.
