Instructions

Adult: Minimum 2.5 mL blood *Pediatric minimum: 1 full microtainer*

Transport Temperature

PROTECT SPECIMEN FROM LIGHT. 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. Remove plasma or serum from the red blood cells, clot or separator gel as soon as possible. Specimens removed from the red blood cells, clot or separator gel may be stored at 2 to 8°C for up to 7 days, and frozen at -20°C for up to 30 days. Specimen stability for the Cancer Center is 7 days refrigerated and >7 days frozen. Stored specimens must be inspected for particulates. If present, mix and centrifuge the specimen to remove particulates prior to testing. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles of specimens should be avoided. Specimens must be mixed THOROUGHLY after thawing, by LOW speed vortexing or by gently inverting, andcentrifuged prior to use to remove red blood cells or particulate matter to ensure consistency in the results.
