Adults: two 5 mL gel-barrier tubes *Pediatric minimum: two 3 mL gel barrier-tubes*

Test Includes: Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) testing is performed on all samples. If TgAb is negative, serum thyroglobulin is measured by a sensitive IMA with a relatively rapid turnaround time, generally two to three days. If TgAb is positive, serum thyroglobulin is measured by a sensitive LC/MS-MS method. This method is less prone to interference by TgAb but has a longer turnaround time of four to six days. Specimen: Serum Volume: 3 mL (two tubes, 1.5 mL each tube) Minimum Volume: 2 mL (two tubes, 1 mL each tube) (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.) Container: Red-top tube or gel-barrier tube Collection: Separate serum from cells, and transfer specimen to a plastic transport tube. Storage Instructions: Room temperature Stability: Room temperature: 14 days Refrigerated: 14 days Frozen: 14 days
