Preferred Specimen
23.2 mL serum collected in a red-top tube (no gel)
Patient Preparation
Overnight fasting is preferred
Minimum Volume
9.7 mL
Instructions
See individual assays.
*** Multiple tubes required for testing - See note ***
Note: Cryoglobulin Screen and reflex: Collect 20 mL of fasting whole blood specimen in a red-top tube (no gel). 10 mL serum required: 3.5 mL minimum.
Allow serum sample to clot for one (1) hour in a 37° C water bath, oven, incubator, or heat block. After clotting, centrifuge the specimen for 10 minutes at 1600 RCF(G) utilizing one of the 3 options below:
1) In a "warm" centrifuge at 37° C.
2) In a bench-top centrifuge placed in a "warm room" at 37° C.
3) At room temperature, in a bench-top centrifuge prewarmed by running it for 10 minutes at 1600 RCF(G).
After centrifuging, decant serum into a screw-cap vial.
Transport at room temperature in separate transport tube clearly marked "CRYO" since sample will not be viable for other testing.
Avoid hemolysis
Avoid lipemia
Avoid freezing and thawing

Clinical Significance
Sensory-motor neuropathies may occur by various mechanisms. These include development of autoantibodies to neuronal structures such as myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibody, Hu antibody, and the ganglioside antibodies. Sensory-motor neuropathies may also occur via antibody cross-reactivity or local immune complex deposition as seen in autoimmune disease with primarily non-neuronal targets including Sjogren's syndrome (SSA/SSB), systemic lupus erythematosus and related conditions (ANA IFA), celiac disease (tTG antibody), vasculitis (ANCA), and immune complex deposition (cryoglobulins, rheumatoid factor). Motor-sensory neuropathy may be associated with monoclonal gammopathy (serum immunofixation and serum immunoglobulins).
