Instructions

Adult: Minimum 2.5 mL blood. Capillary sample not acceptable for analysis. Venous blood can be placed in peds tube for difficult draws. *Pediatric minimum: 1 full microtainer* The collection tube must be completely filled with blood and immediately placed on ice. Sample should be centrifuged within 15 minutes of collection. Place plasma on ice after separation. Iced plasma is stable for 2 hours

Transport Temperature

Lab Only: It is recommended that tubes of blood are to be kept closed at all times and in a vertical position. Separation of plasma from blood cells is critical for obtaining reliable results. The standard recommendation is no more than 15 minutes from sample collection to the start of centrifugation. Timing is especially critical for patients withliver disease. Separated samples may be stored frozen at -20°C for up to 3 weeks. Stored specimens must be inspected for particulates. If present, mix and centrifuge the specimen to remove particulates. Ensure centrifugation is adequate to remove platelets.
