- Specimen
Requirements:
- 6.0 mL whole blood in EDTA vacutainer tube. Other tissues may be acceptable for DNA storage. Please call the lab at 503-494-5400 before sending specimens other than blood. For requisition slips.
- Interpretation:
- DNA yield is quantitated and purity is estimated by spectrophotometric evaluation of 260 nm/280 nm ratio.
- Comments:
- Purifed high molecular weight DNA for storage. DNA storage is applicable in situations where a confirmed or suspected genetic condition is evident and the possibility of future testing will be critically dependent on the analysis of specific samples. This procedure is particularly important in cases where an affected individual may be medically unstable. Please call the Lab for further information at 503-494-5400 before submitting the specimen. CONSENT FORM REQUIRED.
