Our comprehensive test menu has been created to aid in diagnosis and treatment selection across the full spectrum of hematologic disorders. We have developed and validated practice-based, data-driven algorithms that improve patient care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Our hematology experts continuously drive innovation in laboratory testing, developing new approaches and using new technology to address patient needs they see every day in clinical practice.
“We’re able to collaborate and hopefully contribute to patient care in a significant way, helping to establish standards for patients all over the world that may end up being diagnosed with this disease.”
David Viswanatha, M.D., co-director of the Molecular Hematopathology Laboratory

Mayo Clinic researchers identify a new subtype of MGTS, linked to recurrent blood clots, with significant diagnostic challenges and treatment implications.
Our Mayo Clinic colleagues are in San Diego for the 60th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exhibition. Follow this blog for live updates from #ASH18 as we attend the conference, mingle with colleagues at booth #2927, and have a little fun.
In this month’s “Hot Topic,” Brad Karon, M.D., Ph.D., describes how pseudohyperkalemia has many causes, from collection techniques, processing, and even transport. This presentation focuses on the various preanalytic and analytic causes of pseudohyperkalemia and what you as a phlebotomist can do to prevent it.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer, but most people haven’t heard of it until they or someone they know is diagnosed with the disease. March is Myeloma Action Month—a time to focus attention on the fight against multiple myeloma.
This week’s Research Roundup highlights high grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma morphology.
In this months "Hot Topic," Christopher Desens, MLS(ASCP) discusses the preparation of platelet-poor plasma for coagulation testing.

October 8, 2017 | Rochester, Minnesota This symposium is designed for any provider who treats patients with hematologic malignancies (e.g., oncologists, hematologists, and physician assistants), pathologists, hematopathologists, cytogeneticists, laboratory directors, genetic counselors, and laboratory technologists and support staff.
In this “Hot Topic,” William Nichols, M.D., presents a case study that demonstrates how pre- and postanalytic variables of the patient and blood samples can have confounding effects on the laboratory evaluation of coagulation disorders.
In this "Hot Topic," Dong Chen, M.D., Ph.D., describes how flow cytometry, electron micrographic study, and molecular testing are used to diagnose platelet function disorders.
The diagnosis of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) must include an integrated approach and combine the clinical findings with laboratory results. In our latest “Hot Topic,” Rong He, M.D., discusses the subclassification of MPNs and the use of JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutational analysis in diagnosis and prognosis.
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping method can be useful in assessing myeloid dysmaturation. In this “Hot Topic,” Dragon Jevremovic, M.D., Ph.D., describes a new flow cytometric test to detect aberrant patterns of expression in the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome.
