[Histonet] Which RPMI media to use

[Joe Nocito]

Linda,
that would be great, if we were dealing with only one lab, but, as things 
would have it here at PRL, we send specimens to at least two different labs 
(don't even go there. I know what you're going to say.) The labs currently 
send us RPMI media, but since we are going to be increasing our specimen 
load, I'd like to have some available just in case something happens like 
people dropping open tubes and stuff.
Thanks for the info.

Joe,
The best one to uses is the one that the facility you are sending them to 
wants you to use.  The facility that we send ours to even furnishes it to 
us.

Greetings Histoland,
    once, again, I need to tap into your vast knowledge. We will be sending 
out
bone marrow, lymph node and placenta cases for flow cytometry and
cytogenetic studies. Looking through the catalogs, there are about 15
different formulas for RPMI. Can any one tell me which formula is the best
one. I'm at a loss. thanks in advance

Joe Nocito
