Remarks
Bone marrow is the preferred specimen, but heparinized peripheral blood may be submitted if a large number of malignant cells are present.
Collect bone marrow in a syringe, transfer to Dark Green top vacutainer and gently invert the tube several times for good mixing.
If a dry tap is obtained, consult the Laboratory Medicine resident in Hematology regarding the possible submission of a green top tube of peripheral blood. Contact Hematology if the specimen is more than 24 hours old.
