Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) Samples
Sufficient tumor must be present to complete all analysis. If you have any questions, please contact Client Services at (888) 979-8669.
S P ECI ME N TY PE
SP E C I M E N R E QU I R E M E N T S
Fixed Tissue
One (1) tumor-containing formalin fixed paraffin embedded block (FFPE) from most recent surgery or biopsy. Successive four (4) micron sections will be created from the block until sufficient material for the testing orders is obtained. For the molecular analysis, tumor cells will be excised by microdissection until a total area of at least 50mm2 is obtained.
Core Needle Biopsy
Four to six (4-6) biopsies formalin fixed paraffin embedded
• 18 gauge needle preferred
Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA)
One (1) formalin fixed paraffin embedded block containing sufficient tumor
Unstained Slides
Unstained, positively charged, unbaked slides from one single, tumor-containing formalin fixed paraffin embedded block; 4 micron sections
• MI Profile™ - 55 slides
• Next-Generation Sequencing only - 15 slides
Note: At least a 5mm x 5mm section of tissue per slide is required. For small biopsies (tissue area < 5 mm x 5 mm) please cut two sections
per slide for at least one half of the slides to ensure sufficient material for molecular assays.
Malignant Fluid
One (1) formalin fixed paraffin embedded cell block containing sufficient tumor.
Formalin Samples
Sufficient tumor must be present to complete all analysis. If you have any questions, please contact Client Services at (888) 979-8669.
S P E CI ME N TY PE
SP E C I M E N R E QU I R E M E N T S
Fresh Tissue
Two (2) or more samples with a minimum thickness of ~3mm (height, width, length) and submit in 10% neutral buffered formalin.
Core Needle Biopsy
Four to six (4-6) biopsies
• 18 gauge needle preferred
Bone/Bone Metastasis
Two (2) or more samples with minimum thickness of 3mm (height, width, length) and submit in 10% neutral buffered formalin (DO NOT DECALCIFY)
Insufficient Specimen Quantity – Prioritization of Tests
In the event that a specimen is received with an insufficient quantity of tissue or insufficient percent tumor required to perform the entire profile or individual tests indicated on the requisition,
Caris Life Sciences® will fax the ordering physician the proposed list of tests. The physician may amend this list to include any tests that are offered within the test menu. The ordering physician should review
the proposed list of tests within 72 hours in order to provide timely results. Please note: turnaround time may be longer for specimens with limited tissue.
In certain circumstances, CMS requires that Caris Life Sciences® bill the hospital for the technical component and the clinical laboratory services component.
