Biopsy Kits

POMPL provides biopsy kits upon request. Each biopsy kit consists of a formalin-filled plastic container, a history sheet and a business reply label addressed to our laboratory. You can also request a FedEx shipping label.

Due to limited storage times, please request DIF media only when you are ready to obtain a specimen for direct immunofluorescence. DIF tissue samples cannot be placed in formalin, since fixation damages the protein structure of many antigens and obfuscates the staining reaction. The transport media that we supply has a shelf life of about three months and can be refrigerated. More information regarding specimen handling for DIF can be found here [LINK].
