<b>Ordering Requirements:</b><br>
This is a Global only order. For this panel, submit a Congo Red-stained slide for our reference.</span><br>
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.</span><br><br>
<b>Service Limitations / Notes:</b><br>
Individual orders for Amyloid A or Amyloid P are not available with global service.<br>
For Tech-only (stain only) orders, order Amyloid A and/or Amyloid P as individual stains. The Panel combination is not available with tech-only service, and submission of a Congo Red-stained slide is not required.<br><br>
<b>Specimen Requirements:</b><br>
<b>Preferred specimen (FFPE block):</b><br>
A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block is the preferred specimen type. Use 10% NBF fixative; do not use zinc or mercury fixatives.<br>
<b>If submitting slides (instead of a block):</b><br>
All slides cut at 4-5 microns. Please use positively-charged slides and 10% NBF fixative.<br>
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">H&E: One (1) unbaked, unstained slide for H&E staining (required)</span><br>
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">Cut Slides: Two (2) positively charged unstained slides for each IHC test/antibody ordered</span><br>
<b>Specimen identification:</b><br>
Block and slide identifiers should be clearly written and match exactly with the specimen ID and specimen labeling as noted on the requisition.</p>

True
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>
