Separating Selected Cells From A Tissue Sample

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 88381

A laboratory preparation step in which a very small, specific group of cells is separated out from a tissue sample viewed under a microscope. Isolating those cells means that a later test measures only the area of interest instead of the surrounding normal tissue, which makes the result more reliable. It produces material for further testing rather than a diagnosis of its own.
