Instructions

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

Transport Temperature

It is recommended that tubes of blood are to be kept closed at all times and in a vertical position. Analyze fresh specimens, if possible. Whole blood samples may be stored for up to 4 hours at 20 to 25°C and up to 24 hours at 2 to 8°C. Separated samples may be stored for up to 4 hours at 20 to 25°C, at 2 to 8°C for up to 24 hours and frozen at -20°C for up to 3 months. 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, and centrifuged prior to use to remove red blood cells or particulate matter to ensure consistency in the results.
