Fetal Cells (Hemoglobin F) by Flow Cytometry
Availability - Monday thru Friday 7:30am-11pm, for emergency call lab (631) 444-8078 or page Dr. Golightly
Specimen Requirement - At least 0.5 ml EDTA anticoagulated blood
Turn Around Time - Usually 24 hours for verbal, same day for emergencies (lab must be notified)
Test Information - This test replaces the Kleihauer-Betke test as the method of choice for detection of Fetal cells. It should be noted that the test also can detect and differentiate F-cells which may aid in the diagnosis of hereditary anemic diseases such as Sickle Cell, Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin, and Thalassemia. For more information and examples see tutorial on Fetal Cells (Fetal Hemoglobin F).
Granulocyte Function (NBT tests) by Flow
Availability - Monday thru Friday 7:30am-11pm, for emergency call lab 444-8078 or page Dr. Golightly
Specimen Requirement - At least 0.5 ml Herparin or EDTA anticoagulated blood
Turn Around Time - Usually 24 hours for verbal, same day for emergencies (lab must be notified)
Test Information -This test replaces the NBT test as the method of choice for diagnosis of Chronic Granulomatous Disease. It is very sensitive and can easily detect X-linked carriers. See for CGD tutorial more information and examples.
Availability - Monday thru Friday 7:30am-11pm, for emergency call lab 444-8078 or page Dr. Golightly
Specimen Requirement - At least 1 ml Herparinized blood/bone marrow, FNA specimen, Tissue specimen
Turn Around Time - Usually 24 hours for verbal, same day for emergencies (lab must be notified)
Markers Performed - All leukemia/lymphoma studies are custom panels to ensure most accurate and cost effective diagnosis for the patient. Call Dr. Golightly (444-2240) to briefly discuss case and clinical impression. Results will be correlated with histology, hematology, and cytology when possible. See Interactive case studies for interpretation, examples, charts, etc.
