Specimen Requirements
Specimens from Outside North America
Please send genomic DNA: a minimum of 3 µg (at a concentration of at least 30 ng/µl), preferably in TE solution. HNL Genomics does not recommend shipping whole blood or cultured cells from any location other than the United States, Canada, or Mexico.
Specimen Rejection Causes
The following list represents some possible causes for specimen rejection.
- Improperly labeled specimen (minimum of two patient identifiers)
- Inappropriate specimen type
- Incomplete or incorrect test request form (i.e. no test marked)
- Insufficient volume for analysis
- Specimen has leaked in transit
- Specimen without a test order
- All sample types should be shipped at ambient temperature via an overnight courier.
- Please review the instructions on the shipping page to ensure that your shipment is received in good condition by HNL Genomics (CTGT).
- Please note that genomic DNA is accepted only from CLIA-certified laboratories or laboratories meeting equivalent requirements.
If any of the guidelines for these processes are not met, the specimen may be rejected, or the test may be placed on hold. HNL Genomics will contact the client for resolution.
