Patient Preparation: Patient should be fasting for eight hours. Adults: NMR LipoTube or 5 mL red-top tube.

Test Includes: Insulin-resistance calculation; lipoprotein particle number (LDL-P); lipoprotein subfractions; standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) Specimen: Spun NMR LipoTube (preferred), serum from a plain red-top tube, or plasma from a lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Ship with frozen cool packs. 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
