Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

• AML is a rapidly progressing disease, with many possible genetic changes driving the overproduction of immature myeloid white blood cells.

• Quick turnaround time is crucial in identifying the possible underlying genetic cause of this leukemia.

• Amoy Diagnostics offers 24 hour results for STAT PML/RARA and a full panel of FISH probes to guide treatment decisions.

​

Sample Requirements:

• Bone Marrow

  • 2-5 mL in a sodium heparin (green top) tube for all tests.

  • 5 mL in a EDTA (purple top) is acceptable for FISH testing only.

  • Minimum: 1 mL

• Storage: Room temperature if being shipped within 24 hours. Refrigerate if shipping will be delayed.

• Stability: Sample is optimum if received within 48 hours.

• Transportation: Room temperature (do not freeze or fix).
