Test ID: PMMIL
Phosphomannomutase (PMM) and Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI), Leukocytes
Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Leukocytes are harvested from one 7-mL tube of ACD treated blood and the resulting leukocyte cell pellet is subjected to 1 freeze-thaw cycle. The lysate is collected and the enzymatic activity for both phosphomannomutase and phosphomannose isomerase is measured by a colorimetric assay. (Dr. Otto van Diggelen, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands; personal communication).
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed
Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Monday
Analytic Time
Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
8 days
Maximum Laboratory Time
Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
15 days
Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
WBC homogenate stored 1 month
Performing Laboratory Location
The location of the laboratory that performs the test
Rochester
