. Ph 1 Chromosome could reliably be detected in specimens drawn as long as 120 h before testing and held at 4° or 30°C, although the quality of the karyotype deteriorated somewhat after 72 h. Positive results were found with specimens transmitted through the mail. However, delays between specimen collection and receipt by the laboratory in excess of 2 days led to some false negative results.
