We have a case coming in today we would really like to submit but don’t have transport media tubes; is there any other method we could do in order to submit a sample, such as aspirating and placing it in tube with serum?

Please use serum and saline that you would normally do when you send to other reference laboratories.

How do I collect an FNA sample?

Disinfect the skin with alcohol (70%) at the planned needle puncture site. Insert a 20-gauge needle (without syringe) into an enlarged lymph node and perform 15 - 20 aspirations using an aggressive “woodpecker style” technique. (Click to Read More)

What is the simulated dosing for a certain drug? MTD(maximum tolerated dosing) or metronomic?

Our models don't differentiate between different types of dosing, so they can be viewed as outcomes for standard clinical practice. For instance, if MTD is more common in practice, the models may more closely reflect MTD.

When can I expect to receive the sample return boxes I requested online?

You can expect to receive the boxes in 7-12 days via FedEx Ground.
