Sample requirements for identification of mutations in DNA

  1. Add in each of two vacutainer tubes with EDTA (purple top) about 8 mL of adult people blood. For children one single tube is enough. Mark the tubes with the patient’s full name and date of birth. Keep the sample at room temperature.
  2. Insert the tubes in a sealed plastic bag and place them with enough material (paper towel) that can absorb the entire blood volume if the tubes break. For places far from Centro Gendiagnostik send plastic bag sealed in an envelope using domestic express delivery like Uno Express o Servi Entrega. Use FedEx if you live outside of Panama. Do not send the samples by the conventional post office. Send the samples to arrive only between Monday and Friday. Do not send samples on weekend or to arrive on weekend days.
  3. Send the requisition form together with the sample and copy of payment verification. Fill the requisition form completely. Predictive tests for diseases (for example, Huntington´s Corea, exomic sequencing), informed consent is required.
  4. Sample shipping address: Attention: Oriana Batista, M.Sc., Dr.rer.nat.
    Centro Gendiagnostik
    Avenida Central, Contiguo al Cuartel de Bomberos
    David, Provincia de Chiriquí
