Ordering information:

Tissue that requires dissection by a Pathologist must be sent fresh at room temperature as soon as possible to the laboratory, preferably Mon-Fri during business hours as tissue must be sent to VCGS. If the specimen does not require disscetion or any other tests send in a sterile container with transport culture media (RPMI). Send at room temperature in an esky.

Keep fresh specimens refrigerated out of hours.
