Tissue that is required to be sent to the laboratory fresh for further testing such as frozen section, micro/culture, flow cytometry or karyotyping.
Immediately contact Anatomical Pathology RCH 5748, RWH 2375 or if after hours page Pathologist On-Call via switchboard.
Laboratory Notes:
If the fresh tissue is also required to be shared for Microscopy & Culture (M/C/S), send the specimen to the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory first.
If the fresh specimen requires addition of formalin out-of-hours as per Anatomical Pathologist advice, contact the on-call Anatomical Pathology scientist to perform this task.
