EPIC Test Procedure Code: LAB3610
Plasma
1. Collect blood in a pre-chilled or pre-frozen plastic lavender top (EDTA) tube, noting the time of collection.
2. After venipuncture, immediately mix the specimen by inversion several times to insure complete mixture.
3. Keep specimen on ice for delivery to lab.
4. Separate the plasma from the cells by centrifugation, place the plasma into a plastic screw cap vial and freeze within 15 minutes of collection.
5. To avoid delays in turn around time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, submit separate frozen samples for each test requested.
1. Centrifuge specimen in a refrigerated centrifuge or in chilled centrifuge cups.
2. Aliquot plasma into plastic vial and freeze.
