"Patient should be fasting 12 to 14 hours. Collect specimen in NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube) or plain red-top tube. Gently invert tube to mix contents and allow specimen to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation. Specimen should be kept refrigerated and centrifuged within 24 hours of collection. Centrifuge specimen for 15 minutes at 3000 rpm. To preserve specimen integrity, centrifuged specimen can be kept refrigerated for four days before shipping and then it must be shipped with frozen cool packs. Do not freeze and do not store at room temperature. Do not open NMR LipoTube. Pipette separated serum from plain red-top tube to a plastic transport tube.
