Preferred Specimen
18.9 mL serum collected in red-top tube (no gel)
Patient Preparation
Overnight fasting is preferred.
Minimum Volume
7.3 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 freezing and thawing
Avoid lipemia
