Instructions

Check with RN for needed collect time. Adult: Minimum 2.5 mL blood *Pediatric minimum: 1 full microtainer*

Transport Temperature

Lab Only: 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 at 2 to 8°C for up 7 days and frozen at -10°C for up to 14 days. Stored specimens must be inspected for particulates. If present, mix and centrifuge the specimen to remove. Samples containing carbenicillin or piperacillin should be stored frozen if a delay in analysis of more than 8 hours is anticipated. Failure to freeze samples containing these antibiotics may result in falsely low tobramycin levels due to in vitro inactivation.
