LAB7213: Drug Screen Collection

GMH HOSPITAL LAB: URINE CUP (No Temperature) Min Vol: N/A

GMH HOSPITAL LAB: CLEAR TOP/Cup - Urine: (No Temperature) Min Vol: N/A

Adult: Minimum 2.5 mL blood *Pediatric minimum: 1 full microtainer*

Lab Only: This test is ordered on patients who are 21 yrs and older. Patients who are < 21 years old should have a Pediatric Estradiol. It is recommended that tubes of blood are to be kept closed at all times and in a vertical position. It is required that the serum or plasma be physically separated from contact with cells within two hours from the time of collection. Analyze fresh specimens, if possible. Separated samples may be stored for up to 24 hours at 20 to 25°C. If testing will be delayed more than 24 hours, remove plasma or serum from the red blood cells, clot or separator gel. Specimens removed from the red blood cells, clot or separator gel may be stored at 2 to 8°C for up to 7 days, and frozen at -20°C for > 7 days. Stored specimens must be inspected for particulates. If present, mix and centrifuge the specimen to remove particulates prior to testing. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Specimens must be mixed THOROUGHLY after thawing, by LOW speed vortexing or by gently inverting, and centrifuged prior to use to remove red blood cells or particulate matter to ensure consistency in the results. Patients who have received Fulvestriant may have increased Estradiol results, which can lead to incorrect menopausal state assessment. Please contact the Laboratory if you have questions regarding this drug interaction.
