Q:  How long cells stay viable after BAL (Broncho-Alveolar lavage)?

Answer: About 4 hours

The cells remain viable in BAL fluid for up to 4 hours if stored around 25°C. BAL fluid can be transported at room temperature to lab if processing will occur in less than 1 hour, otherwise it should be transported in ice.
