Test Overview & Methodology
Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD36 precisely quantifies CD36 surface expression on blast cells from bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood – a critical marker for myeloid and monocytic lineage assignment in acute leukaemia classification (ICD-10 C92.00 / C92.50 / C92.60). This test employs high-sensitivity multicolour flow cytometry with an anti-CD36 monoclonal antibody, validated against WHO-2022 guidelines. Fresh samples are maintained at 18–22°C and processed under strict temperature-controlled conditions, delivering same-day results to empower oncologists and haematologists with rapid, actionable data for personalised cancer care.
| Feature | Our CD36 Flow Cytometry | Standard Flow Cytometry (CD36 not included) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Quantitative CD36 Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) and percent positivity with gating on blast population | May miss monocytic differentiation; relies on less specific markers |
| Methodology | Multicolor flow cytometry with anti‑CD36 monoclonal antibody, validated against WHO‑2022 guidelines | Panel without CD36; limited ability to classify acute monoblastic / monocytic leukaemia |
| Turnaround Time | Same day (sample received by 9 AM) | 24–48 hours |
| Sample Stability | Maintained at 18–22°C; dedicated cold-chain logistics | Often require immediate transport; no temperature guarantee |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“CD36 immunophenotyping is a cornerstone in differentiating monocytic-lineage acute leukaemias, but it must be interpreted alongside morphology, cytogenetics, and molecular markers. I urge patients not to consider this a stand‑alone diagnostic, but a powerful guide that should be reviewed by an experienced haemato‑oncologist,” says Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011.
Medication Advisory
Do not pause or alter any prescribed therapy, including anticoagulants or chemotherapy agents, without prior discussion with your treating physician. Certain medications may modulate CD36 surface expression; please disclose all current drugs and supplements to the laboratory staff at the time of sample collection to ensure accurate interpretation.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Recent blood transfusion (within 72 hours) – may dilute blast population and skew results.
- Severe haemodilution due to IV fluid administration immediately before sampling.
- Visible clotting in the specimen or use of incorrect anticoagulant tubes.
- Red Flags: If you experience sudden unexplained bruising, persistent bleeding, high fever with chills, or intense bone pain after sample collection, seek immediate emergency care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD36 immunophenotyping test used for?
This test primarily classifies acute leukaemia subtypes, particularly acute monoblastic and myelomonocytic leukaemia, by measuring CD36 protein expression on blast cells. The result helps your haematologist choose the most effective targeted therapy and monitor treatment response accurately.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. Please inform the collecting clinician of all current medications and supplements, and avoid vigorous physical activity immediately before sample collection. A bone marrow aspiration is performed under local anaesthesia in a hospital setting for optimal safety.
3. When will I receive my results?
Results are reported on the same day if the sample reaches the laboratory by 9 AM, with a preliminary verbal update available within hours. A comprehensive written report is provided via secure digital delivery.
4. Why must sample collection take place in a hospital?
Because this test may require a bone marrow aspirate, which is an invasive procedure that must be performed under sterile conditions with appropriate medical supervision to minimise risk. Peripheral blood draws for this assay are also restricted to hospital settings to guarantee sample integrity and patient safety.
