Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Protocol:
- The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) should be obtained by lumbar puncture. The first 2ml of CSF that flows from the tap should be discarded. Collect 2-5ml of CSF, avoiding bloody tap.
- The CSF should be frozen as quickly as possible (preferably within 20 minutes) and stored at -80°C freezer (or, lacking that, in a -20°C freezer) until shipment on dry ice.
| Note: Please send fixed and frozen tissue samples in separate containers to avoid freezing of the fixed tissue, which can result in artifacts. See the Shipping Instructions for more information. |
