Platelet Function Screen

Message
SRHC Clients:

Specimen stability is critical for Platelet Function Studies.
Call Hematology at ext. 4831 for specific collection instructions before ordering.



Due to the short stability of the samples, the patient may be sent to the outpatient draw station for collection; or alternately, the sample may be drawn and transported to SRH Lab in less than 4 hours at room temperature.
