Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD79b Test in Dubai & UAE | 450 AED | Hospital Extraction Only
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Test Overview at a Glance
Achieve 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for B‑cell lymphoma classification with our ISO‑accredited flow cytometry assay. This test accurately quantifies CD79b expression on B‑cells, enabling precise subclassification of mature B‑cell neoplasms and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. The procedure is a hospital‑extraction only service — mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety. Same‑day results when the sample arrives by 9:00 AM. Insurance direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.

Test Overview & Methodology
CD79b immunophenotyping by flow cytometry precisely quantifies the B‑cell antigen CD79b, aiding in subclassification of mature B‑cell neoplasms and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. The assay uses fresh whole blood or bone marrow processed on a ≥10‑color platform, delivering results on the same day when a well‑preserved sample arrives by 9:00 AM. Samples must be maintained at 18–22 °C during transport — do not refrigerate or freeze.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Clinical Correlation Note from Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA Registration ID: 61713011)
Flow cytometry CD79b results must be interpreted alongside the complete immunophenotypic panel, clinical history, and histopathological findings. This test supports clonality assessment and minimal residual disease surveillance, yet it should never be employed as a solitary diagnostic indicator. Always discuss your report with a hematopathologist to ensure comprehensive integration of morphology, immunophenotype, and genetic markers.
Important Medication Advisory
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria
- Active systemic infection (fever >38 °C)
- Recent high‑dose corticosteroid therapy
- Uncorrected coagulopathy (if bone marrow aspiration is planned)
- Pregnancy (relative contraindication — consult your obstetrician)
Emergency Red Flags — Seek Immediate Care
- High fever unresponsive to antipyretics after specimen collection
- Uncontrolled bleeding at the puncture site
- Severe dizziness or shortness of breath
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD79b immunophenotyping test used for?
This flow cytometry test measures the CD79b protein on B‑cells from a whole blood or bone marrow sample. It helps identify and classify B‑cell lymphoma subtypes and monitors residual disease following treatment. Results must always be interpreted together with the full immunophenotypic panel and clinical presentation.
2. How is the test performed and what should I expect during collection?
A venous blood sample (3 mL) or bone marrow aspirate (2 mL) is collected under sterile conditions within an accredited hospital facility. The specimen is stained with fluorescent antibodies and analyzed on a multi‑parameter flow cytometer. Collection is restricted to hospital settings — mobile home phlebotomy is not available for this test.
3. When will I receive my CD79b results?
Your immunophenotyping report is typically available on the same day provided the sample arrives at our laboratory by 9:00 AM and is maintained at the required transport temperature (18–22 °C). Results are delivered electronically and can be discussed with a clinician for interpretation.
