| Specimen Container | Lavender-top (EDTA) OR plasma preparation tube (PPT(TM)) |
| Specimen Type | Plasma, FROZEN |
| Volume | 4 mL |
| Minimum Volume | 2 mL (NOTE: This volume does NOT allow for repeat testing.) |
| Temperature | FREEZE |
| Specimen Handling | Collect specimen in three lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or three PPT(TM) tubes. Do NOT use green-top (heparin) tubes. Centrifuge specimen within six hours of collection. Transfer plasma to one or more SCREW-CAP polypropylene transport tube(s). Snap-cap or pop-top tubes should be avoided and may result in specimen rejection. Immediately freeze specimen at -20(degrees) C. DO NOT PLACE SAMPLES ON DRY ICE UNTIL COMPLETELY FROZEN. Specimens collected in PPT(TM) need to be centrifuged within six hours and frozen. Ship specimens frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, PLEASE SUBMIT SEPARATE FROZEN SPECIMENS FOR EACH TEST REQUESTED. |
