Volume 2 mL Minimum Volume 1 mL Container NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), plain red-top tube, or lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Collection Collect specimen in NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), which is the preferred specimen, or plain red-top tube. Gently invert tube to mix contents and allow specimen to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation. Centrifuge specimen immediately after clotting to separate serum from the red cells. If the sample cannot be centrifuged immediately, it must be refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C and centrifuged within 24 hours of collection. Do not open NMR LipoTube. Serum or plasma drawn in gel-barrier collection tubes other than the NMR LipoTube should not be used. Pipette separated serum from plain red-top tube to a plastic transport tube. Separate plasma from lavender-top (EDTA) tube immediately after the collection and transfer to a plastic transport tube for shipment to the laboratory. Ship with frozen cool packs. Storage Instructions Refrigerate: NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), serum transport tube, or plasma transport tube. Do not freeze sample.
