Instructions
"Place one red sst or LAV tube in ice to clot; centrifuge and transfer serum and freeze. To minimize increases in Homocysteine concentration from synthesis by red blood cells, process specimens as follows: - Place all specimens (serum and plasma) on ice after collection and prior to processing. Serum may clot more slowly and the volume of serum may be reduced. -
All specimens may be kept on ice for up to 6 hours prior to separation by centrifugation. -Separate red blood cells from serum or plasma by centrifugation and transfer to a clean container NOTE: Specimens not placed on ice immediately may exhibit a 10-20% increase in concentration. 1 ml 2- 8 Celsius or frozen."
