In bone marrow: bone marrow, bone marrow smears or bone marrow aspirate + peripheral blood (EDTA blood or heparin blood 2 ml) + blood smear
(for the maximum age of the sample – country-specific! – see submission form) |

| Duration | 2–5 working days |
| Remark | - It is recommended to send in more blood, if possible, as immunophenotyping requires up to 5 ml of sample volume if the total leukocyte count is low.
- For a complete evaluation in case of suspected leukaemia, the leukaemia profile is always recommended and should be interpreted in correlation with the clinical picture and the history.
