Pathology
Bone Marrow Aspirate: 1-2mL Sodium Heparin Tube. EDTA tube is acceptable
Peripheral Blood: Plasma cell enrichment was not validated using peripheral blood; therefore, it is not recommended as a screening specimen unless increased plasma cells are seen on blood smear. 2-5mL sodium heparin tube. EDTA tube is acceptable.
Fresh, Unfixed Tissue: Tissue in RPMI
Bone Marrow/ Peripheral Blood Smear or Fresh Tissue Touch Preparation Slides: minimum 4 slides labeled with specimen type.
Fluids: Equal parts RPMI to specimen volume.
Fixed Cell Suspension: A client fixed cell suspension may be submitted for testing as long as it is received in 3:1 Methanol:Glacial Acetic Acid.
Paraffin Block or Cut Slide: N/A
Note: Please exclude biopsy needles, blades, and other foreign objects from transport tubes. These can compromise specimen viability and yield, and create hazards for employees.

Orderable Test Description
<p>Probes: FGFR3/IgH t(4;14) | CCND1/IgH t(11;14) | IgH/MAF t(14;16) | IgH/MAFB t(14;20)Probes for each translocation may be ordered separately. This panel is available separately or by reflex after the Plasma Cell Myeloma FISH Panel if it detects IgH rearrangement. Disease(s): Plasma cell myeloma, multiple myeloma. Note: Plasma cell enrichment will be performed on bone marrow samples unless our client directs us otherwise. (Peripheral blood is not recommended as a screening specimen unless increased plasma cells are seen on blood smear.) Specimens should be received in our laboratory within 72 hours of collection.</p>
