Toni Rathborne, Pathology Supervisor, Somerset Medical Center, Somerville NJ asks:
>>Can anyone recommend a reputable lab (preferable upper-east coast) to send >>muscle biopsies to?<< The preparation of muscle biopsy specimens is very exacting - they need to be transported on wet ice, quite unfixed - you need to find a facility within a reasonable driving distance, and work out transport arrangements with them, and make sure the specimen is obtained in time to get it transported and received promptly (I've on occasion enlisted family members to do this.) You and your pathologist need to work all this out in advance of need. Let us all know how this process works out for you.
