[Histonet] submitting a cytology specimen for FISH

[Weems, Joyce]

Would it be a urine for Uryovision? If so, carbowax is generally
supplied by the reference lab that does the testing - or PreservCyt will
work if you don't have the kits. It must be added in a certain amount of
time. 

This web site tells about it...

And if you are sending to a reference lab, you can get kits and specs
from them. 

Hope this helps, j
