In the case of prenatal samples or samples that require special urgency, it must be indicated as such so that the procedure and response times are modified, incorporating an emergency protocol. Types of samples: - Peripheral blood> 5 ml> A 5 ​​ml tube with EDTA. - Chorionic villi> 5-6 mg Approx. > Sterile container with saline solution and antibiotic. - Amniotic fluid> 18 ml> In two 10 ml tubes - Abortive remnants> Biopsy of 1 cm3 of the abortifacient remnant> Sterile container with saline solution - Genomic DNA> 1 ug> One sterile 1.5 ml tube with 10 mM TRIS solution - Saliva> 1-2 ml> Oragene DNA OG-500 Collecto. General conditions for the transport of samples. In general terms, samples destined for genetic studies should be kept at room temperature between 15 and 28ºC, both during collection and transport. However, the specific transport characteristics are detailed in the technical sheets for each of the tests that are included in the technical characteristics. Some of these features are Samples at room temperature: Samples must remain at a temperature between 15 and 28ºC during transport. Refrigerated samples: Place one or more thermal accumulators, depending on the size of the box. Thermal accumulators must remain in a freezer for 4 to 6 hours before use. Frozen samples: VERY IMPORTANT: Submit an aliquot for each of the requested tests that require freezing.
