Specimen Required
Two whole-blood sodium heparin specimens are required, one from the testing patient and the other from an unrelated healthy donor as a control.
Supplies: Ambient Shipping Box-Critical Specimens Only (T668)
Patient:
Container/Tube: Green top (sodium heparin)
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Collection Instructions: Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
Normal Control:
Container/Tube: Green top (sodium heparin)
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Collect a control specimen from the unrelated healthy donor within an hour of the patient's specimen collection time.
2. Clearly label as Normal Control on the outermost label.
3. Send the whole blood specimen in the original tube. Do not aliquot.
4. Rubber band patient specimen and control vial together.
