How is the test performed?
Blood or bone marrow samples are analyzed using flow cytometry, where lasers detect labeled antibodies binding to cell markers.
What samples are required?
3 mL whole blood in EDTA and Sodium Heparin tubes, or 2 mL bone marrow in Sodium Heparin tube with aspirate smear.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required, but providing clinical history is mandatory.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available same-day if the sample is received by 9 am.
