Special Instructions: A separate frozen specimen is required for each frozen test ordered. Only submit samples that contain an HCV viral load >1000 IU/mL in serum or plasma. Specimen: Serum or plasma, frozen Volume: 3 mL Minimum Volume: 2.5 mL Container: Plasma preparation tube (PPT™) or screw-cap polypropylene frozen transport tube Collection: Collect specimen in gel-barrier tube, PPT™ or lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Do not use green-top (heparin) tubes. Separate serum or plasma from whole blood within six hours of blood collection. Remove serum or plasma, transfer to a screw-cap polypropylene tube (not “pop-top” or “snap-cap”), and freeze. Specimens drawn into PPT™ need to be centrifuged within six hours and frozen.
