Biopsy (Tissue)
GS
| Methodology: | Pathology |
| Performed: | Mon-Fri |
| Reported: | 3-5 days |
| Specimen Required: | Collect: Body Tissue. Specimen Preparation: Safety Precautions Always follow standard precautions when handling biological materials. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times. Specimen Preservation Preserve all tissue specimens in 10% buffered formalin to prevent cellular degeneration. Use 3–4 times the tissue volume in formalin, with a minimum of 30 mL. Ensure the tissue can float freely in the container without being compressed. Container Requirements Place each specimen in a properly sized container with enough formalin to fully submerge the tissue. A general guideline: use 10x the volume of formalin relative to the specimen size. If submitting multiple specimens, use separate containers for each. Seal all containers securely and check for leakage before transport. Requisition Form Requirements A completed pathology requisition form must accompany every specimen. The form must clearly and accurately identify: What the specimen is (e.g., mass, tumor, bone). Where it was obtained (anatomical site). Laterality (e.g., RIGHT or LEFT side). Ensure that patient and specimen identification match exactly between the container label and the requisition form. Unacceptable Specimen Conditions: Specimens may be rejected or delayed in processing if any of the following conditions are present: Improper labeling: Specimen containers must include accurate patient identification and specimen details. Unlabeled or mislabeled samples will not be processed. Missing clinical history: Relevant clinical information must be provided on the requisition form to ensure appropriate diagnostic evaluation. Frozen or unfixed tissue Note: Upon receipt of specimen(s) at the laboratory, additional testing—such as Immunohistochemistry (IHC) or special stains—may be ordered as deemed necessary by the pathologist to support diagnostic evaluation. Storage/Transport Temperature: Room Temperature Stability: Ambient 1 week REMARK : Indicate a specimen source. NOTE: * This test is approved for all states. * Performing Lab Accu Reference Medical Laboratory |
