Pyridoxamine
CSF
Ship samples frozen on dry ice.
Supplies: Medical Neurogenetics CSF Collection Kit (MCL T657) is required.
Container/Tube: 5 Microcentrifuge tubes from the Medical Neurogenetics CSF Collection Kit
Note: One set of tubes is required per patient.
Specimen Volume: 4.5 mL total; collected in 5 tubes as described below
Collection Instructions:
CSF should be collected from the first drop into the tubes in the numbered order.
1. Fill each tube to the marked line with the required volumes.
Tube 1: 0.5 mL
Tube 2: 1 mL
Tube 3: 1 mL (contains antioxidants necessary to protect the sample integrity)
Tube 4: 1 mL
Tube 5: 1 mL
-If sample is not contaminated with blood, the tubes should be placed on dry ice at the bedside.
-If sample is contaminated with blood, the tubes should immediately be centrifuged (prior to freezing) and the clear CSF transferred to new similarly labeled tubes, then freeze. Store samples at -80 degrees C until they can be shipped.
2. Complete Medical Neurogenetics, LLC request form. Include test required, sample date and date of birth.
3. Label tubes with patient name and ID number, leaving the tube number visible.
4. Place samples inside a specimen transport bag and the Medical Neurogenetics, LLC request form inside the pouch of the transport bag.
5. Ship samples frozen on dry ice.
Specimen Stability Information: Frozen at -80 degrees C, Indefinitely/Frozen at -20 degrees C, 72 hours
Complete and submit a Neurochemistry and Metabolic Test Request Form with the specimen.
