Blood: (1) 3-5ml in EDTA (lavender top tube); for patients under 1 year of age, we accept 1-2ml (minimum). Blood is our preferred specimen type to receive for testing. Blood Specimens should be received within 72 hours of collection if possible – maximum five days. Store specimen at ambient room temperature or refrigerate until you send; do not freeze. Extracted DNA: 10ug DNA. DNA specimens can be sent at ambient temperature and express delivery should be arranged such that it arrives within 72 to 5 days from collection. Saliva or prenatal specimens: Contact the lab directly at 503-227-3179 or inquiry@mvisionlab.com to confirm whether sample is suitable for the test you wish to order. MVL can mail collection kits and return packaging and labels. Kits are priced ‘at cost’ at $25 per kit plus domestic shipping costs. Email requests to inquiry@mvisionlab.com to receive a quote. Saliva can be sent at ambient temperature and express delivery should be arranged such that it arrives within 72 to 5 days from collection.
