How to start sending biopsies to Dr. Khopkar?

If you wish to send biopsies for regular diagnostic purpose there is no need to contact him or his office by phone. Please put the biopsy in a leak proof container, preferably plastic, with adequate formalin inside (approximately 20 times the volume of the biopsy). The formalin used should be buffered. In case it is not urgent to start sending the biopsies, please email to drkhopkarsclinic@gmail.com to request pre-packed leak proof, formalin bulbs with reference slips and ready to mail torn-proof envelopes for safe transit of biopsy specimens. This kit comes with a complementary biopsy punch that ensures uniform quality of biopsies. For more tips about improving results for your biopsies please click here
If you wish to use your own packing material and envelope, please make sure that the envelope is sufficiently strong all around including the edges, lest the biopsy may fall out. Please use a screw capped container and close the lid tightly to ensure that formalin does not leak out, otherwise the tissue won’t get fixed and will degenerate by the time it reaches us, affecting the final result. The lid may be taped and container may be cushioned to ensure safe passage.
Apart from the sample in a container, the envelope should also contain name and clinical details of the patient filled in the biopsy reference slip along with a draft of Rs. 1500/- per biopsy or block or slide in the name of “Dr. Uday Khopkar”. Please be sure to also include the name and address of the referring doctor for sending the report and mobile number or landline of the doctor for clinical discussion, if any. You can also deposit cash directly to our account and receipt of cash deposit can be sent along with the biopsy or you can transfer the money to the bank and send transfer details and transaction ID along with biopsy. Please do not send 2 biopsies in one vial. Put them in separate vials and pay separately. The bank details are as follows:

How to send slides or blocks to Dr. Khopkar for a report?

The charge for reporting on slides or blocks is Rs. 1500/- per biopsy or slide or block. We encourage you to send tissues to us because processing of small skin biopsy specimens require special attention amongst all the other larger general pathology specimens. We process only skin biopsies and our technician will take utmost care to get the best results out of your 3 or 4 mm specimen that shrinks even further when put it in formalin.
While sending slides, please use a plastic or cardboard slide mailer. Just giving cotton padding is not enough to protect a glass slide. If you do not have this, you may use a sturdy plastic box or strips of thermacol cut to size of the slide and held together with two rubber bands. Please do not send excision biopsies to us. We prefer punch or shave biopsies.
