UPHS – Marquette laboratory processes thousands of samples in flow cytometry using 10-color instrumentation and state of the art analysis software. Testing is performed by an experienced and competent staff dedicated to providing the best analysis possible.
Analysis by flow cytometry involves selection of the appropriate panel of antibodies directed against antigens of lymphoid and/or myeloid cell lineages. An on-site hematopathologist selects the necessary panel(s) according to criteria based on clinical information, specimen source, morphologic review, and any other instructions conveyed by the referring physician/client. Accordingly, each case is approached with a specifically-tailored strategy designed to accommodate diagnostic needs with minimal cost.
This process is applicable for all cases of acute lymphoblastic or myelogenous leukemias, chronic lymphoproliferative disorders and malignant lymphomas. For Leukemia / Lymphoma Immunophenotyping there is no ordering code, simply submit the sample(s) and relevant paperwork according to the directions listed below. For evaluation of acquired or inherited immunodeficiencies, the T- and -B Cell Quantitation by Flow Cytometry (TBSM) should be ordered ( see Test Directory for more detail ).
