Unacceptable Conditions

Sample not properly identified; incorrect container; insufficient sample volume; more than 4 hours since collection; clotted sample; hemolysed sample; tube fill volume less than 70% or greater than 110%; sample contaminated with I.V. fluid.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Internal: Deliver to lab immediately.
Offsite: Centrifuge the sample to obtain platelet poor plasma. Place plasma in an aliquot container and send frozen.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Whole blood- Ambient: 4 hours.

Platelet poor plasma: refrigerated (2-4C), 4 hours; frozen (-20C), 2 weeks; frozen (-70C), 6 months.
