Additional Specimen Collection Information

Collect blood in a lithium heparin, green-top or red-top tube. PST and SST (gel tubes) are acceptable. Refrigerate the specimen if unable to assay within 8 hours of collection. It is recommended that the serum or plasma be separated from contact with cells within 2 hours from time of collection. Specimens not centrifuged within 4 hours of collection may be rejected. If the patient is unable to be redrawn, the test may be performed at the request of the ordering clinician and results will carry a disclaimer. Disclaimer: the specimen was not received in the recommended fashion (delayed cell separation from serum or plasma. Results should be interpreted with caution.)
