| SPECIMEN REQUIREMENTS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen | Specimen Volume (min) | Specimen Type | Specimen Container | Transport Environment |
| Preferred | 2mL (0.5 mL) | Serum | Clot Activator (Red Top, No-Gel) | Refrigerated |
| Alternate 1 | 2mL (0.5 mL) | Plasma | Sodium Heparin (Green Top / No-Gel) | Refrigerated |
| Instructions | Specimen Type: Red-top tube, lavender-top (EDTA) 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: Submission/transport (<3 days): Room temperature. For storage beyond three days, specimen should be refrigerated or frozen. Specimen Collection: Separate serum or plasma within two hours of collection and transfer to a plastic transport tube. |
