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. Individual orders for Amyloid A or Amyloid P are not available with global service.
Tech-only (stain only) orders: Please order Amyloid A and/or Amyloid P as individual stains. 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.

Orderable Test Description
<p>Amyloid A and P react with amyloid deposits in many tissues. When accompanied by Congo Red, Amyloid A and P can be used to distinguish primary and secondary amyloidosis. Because these stains are interpreted in context of each other and Congo Red, testing options available to global and tech-only clients differ.</p>
Orderable Turn Around Time
Global: 2 Day, Tech-Only (stain only): 1 Day
Extra Note
Use cold pack for transport, making sure cold pack is not in direct contact with specimen. NYS clients please provide date and time of Collection.
