Amyloid A & P

Global orders: Please order Amyloid A&P Panel and submit a Congo Red-stained slide for our reference (required). If Congo Red staining was not done or the slide is not available, please order a Consult instead so we can coordinate Congo Red staining followed by amyloid A and P staining as indicated.

The Panel combination is not available with tech-only service, nor is it necessary to submit a Congo Red-stained slide. A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block is preferred specimen type or One (1) unbaked, unstained slide for H&E staining (required) and two to four (2-4) positively charged unstained slides (all cut at 4-5 microns ) Block and slide identifiers should be clearly written and match exactly with the specimen ID and specimen labeling as noted on the requisition.
