|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen | Specimen Volume (min) | Specimen Type | Specimen Container | Transport Environment |
| Preferred | 4 mL (1mL) | Serum | Clot Activator (Red Top, No-Gel) | Refrigerated |
| Instructions | Notes: 1 mL (Note: This volume Does NOT allow for repeat testing.) Specimen Type: Red-top tube or green-top (heparin) tube. DO NOT USE A GEL-BARRIER TUBE. The use of gel-barrier tubes is not recommended due to slow absorption of the drug by the gel. Depending on the specimen volume and storage time, the decrease in drug level due to absorption may be clinically significant. Specimen Storage: Room temperature Specimen Collection: Both peak and trough concentrations should be monitored. The trough sample is drawn immediately prior to the next dose. Peak samples should be drawn 60 minutes after an I.M. injection, 30 minutes after the end of a 30-minute I.V. infusion or immediately after a 60-minute I.V. infusion. Transfer separated serum or plasma to a plastic transfer tube. Special Instructions: Peak and trough levels may be ordered together as a profile on the same requisition using test #717330. Please label tubes appropriately as "PEAK" or "TROUGH". "Peak" levels should be ordered using #007204. "Trough" levels should be ordered using #007205.
