OR

Four consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.

1. A pathology report is required in order for testing to be performed. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology or surgical pathology reports.

2. A reason for testing must be provided. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.

3. The pathology report must include type and time of fixation, as well as the cold ischemia time.

Note: In accordance to CAP guidelines, place specimens for HER2 (ERBB2) testing in fixative within one hour of biopsy or resection (cold ischemia time). Specimens should remain in 10% neutral buffered formalin for a minimum of six hours to a maximum of 72 hours (formalin fixation time). Do not use decalcification solutions with strong acids.(2)

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Medical Laboratories.

*Intake of food with a high content of serotonin (avocados, dates, eggplant, all fruit [including bananas, cantaloupe, grapefruit, kiwifruit, melons, pineapple, plantains, plums], all nuts [including hickory nuts, butternuts, pecans, walnuts], and tomatoes and tomato products) within 48 hours of the urine collection could result in falsely elevated 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) excretion.

1. Some medications could interfere with test results. The ordering provider should decide if any medications should be stopped and when they should be restarted. If clinically feasible, discontinue the following medications at least 48 hours prior to, as well as during, specimen collection:

-Acetaminophen (Tylenol or generic versions)

-Tryptophan containing supplements

2. For 48 hours prior to, as well as during, the urine collection, the patient should:

Limit the following to one serving per day:

-Fruits

-Vegetables

-Nuts

-Caffeinated beverages or foods​

Collection Processing Instructions:
1. Collect a 24-hour urine specimen.
2. Add 25 mL of 50% acetic acid as preservative at start of collection. Use 15 mL of 50% acetic acid for children <5 years old.

3. See Mayo Labs website for additional information regarding acceptable preservatives and collection details.

​This test should not be requested in patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held for 1 week and assayed if sufficiently decayed or canceled if radioactivity remains.

For optimal antibody detection, specimen collection is recommended prior to initiation of immunosuppressant medication.

Collection Instructions:

1. Centrifuge, transfer all plasma into a vial, and centrifuge plasma again.

2. Aliquot plasma into a vial leaving 0.25 mL in the bottom of centrifuged vial.

3. Freeze plasma immediately (no longer than 4 hours after collection) at -20 degrees C, or, ideally < or =-40 degrees C

Additional Information:

1. Double-centrifuged specimen is critical for accurate results as platelet contamination may cause spurious results.

2. If priority specimen, mark request form, give reason, and request a call-back.

3. Each coagulation assay requested should have its own vial.

This test should be regarded as 'Research Use Only'. The performance characteristics were determined by Marshfield Labs in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. This test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It may not be covered by insurance and providers need to inform all patients of this prior to ordering. 

For Medicare patients, an Advanced Beneficiary notice (ABN) is required; for Medicaid patients, a Noncovered Services Waiver is required, and for commercial payers, prior authorization should be obtained.

​One 0.75 mL citrated Blue Top Tube (BTT) plasma aliquot.
If more than one coagulation test is ordered, a separate aliquot is needed for each test.
-Collect in Citrated Blue Top Tube (BTT)
-Citrate anticoagulant must be adjusted for HCT >55%
-Tube must be at least 90% full
-Invert completely 3-4 times (without shaking) to mix
-See (Preparation of Platelet Poor Plasma)

Plasma must be removed from cells and frozen within 2 hours.
