Specimen Type 
Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Fibroblasts
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
Cultured Fibroblasts
2 T-25 flasks(s) filled to neck with culture media. Maintain sterility
and forward promptly at ambient temperature.
Reject Due To Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected
| Specimens other than | Fibroblasts, skin biopsy |
