Reference Lab
Sterile tube with sterile Ringers Lactate or Hanks basal salt solution.
Aseptically obtain a small piece of tissue with subepidermal layers. Best results are obtained from placental villi, which remain viable much longer than fetal tissue. This is especially true in stillborn cases in which both cord blood and tissue samples are often not viable. If specimen is a product of conception, submit biopsies in a sterile tube with sterile Ringer's lactate, Hanks' balanced salt solution, or LabCorp transport medium.
