- Sampling and written consent
Sample Preparation
01 Before collecting a sample, check the required volume, whether it is necessary to use a specific container, the required storage temperature and period, and other notable matters.
02 The samples are placed under quality control according to related standards, and a quality control report is issued thereafter. If the criteria are not met, the client will be contacted and asked to decide whether to proceed with the test. In case of non-conformity/rejection, the client may be charged for expenses incurred during quality control.
03 Adequate explanation is provided to the examinee prior to the sampling process in regard to the genetic test and sample collection. The sample identification number is recorded on the container to identify the sample. The examinee is asked his/her name, date of birth, gender, etc. for identification purposes.
04 If the sample becomes severely contaminated or denatured, the accuracy of the test results cannot be guaranteed. If a sample is rejected for any of the following reasons, re-sampling may be requested
1) Inability to clearly identify the sample code
2) Inadequate sample volume and/or quality
3) Use of an inappropriate container
4) Coagulated sample in an anticoagulant container
5) Faulty sample storage conditions and period
6) Contamination caused by spilling of the sample or infiltration of another sample
7) Sample containing foreign matter.
