Performance

Testing is performed Monday through Sunday.

Routine orders: Typically completed within 4 hours after the specimen arrives at the testing site.

STAT orders: Typically completed within 30 minutes after the specimen arrives at the testing site.

Specimen Requirement

0.5 mL serum or plasma is required.

Collect blood in a lithium heparin, green-top or red-top tube from a fasting patient. (12 hour fast is recommended.) Gel separator tubes are acceptable. Serum or plasma should be separated
from contact with the cells within 2 hours of collection. Specimens not centrifuged within 4 hours of collection may be rejected. Refrigerate the specimen if unable to assay within 8 hours of collection. Hemolyzed specimens are not acceptable.

Protect from light.
