| Instructions | Specimen Type: Whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Specimen Volume: 8.5 mL whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Mininum Volume: 3 mL whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Collection: Standard phlebotomy. Follow PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx 500 saliva kit collection instructions. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 min prior to collection. Specimen Storage: Maintain specimen at room temperature or refrigerate at 4C Do not freeze. Special Instructions: The specific gene and variant(s) to be analyzed must be indicated on the test requisition form. Failure to indicate the gene and variant will result in testing delays. Please include a copy of the previously tested family member's laboratory report for documentation. Please call 800-255-7357 to speak with a laboratory genetic coordinator before submitting specimens for Targeted Variant Analysis. If previous testing was performed at an outside laboratory, submitting a positive control sample is highly recommended. Test orders must include an attestation that the provider has the patient's informed consent for genetic testing. See sample physician office consent form: Consent for Genetic Testing. |
