Glycophorin-A, technical only
Use
Glycophorin A is a major sialoglycoprotein present on human precursor and mature red blood cells. This marker is useful in characterizing erythroid cell development as well as diagnosing erythroid leukemia. Technical component only. Pathologist read not included.
Special Instructions
Samples must be tested within 3 months after being placed in ethanol. Unstained slides require positively charged glass slides to prevent background staining and tissue loss. Slides should be left unbaked.
Limitations
Specimens must be fixed in 10% NBF or B plus. All other fixatives will be rejected. Specimen stability varies by type, with fresh tissues being stable for ≤ 72 hours, while FFPE blocks and unstained slides have indefinite stability.
