Specimen

  
Serum
  
  
2.0 mL
  
1.0 mL
  
  • For more than one allergen, use this formula to calculate the amount of serum required:

50 µL X (# of allergens) + 250 µL = total amount serum needed

  • Immediately following collection, mix sample by gently inverting 5 times
  
  1. Allow sample to clot for a minimum of 30 minutes
  2. Spin within two (2) hours of sample collection
  

Gold serum separator (SST) tube

  
Lithium heparin (Li hep) plasma
EDTA plasma (acceptable, but not preferred)
  

Lt green plasma separator (PST)

Red serum vial/tube - 5 mL

Lavender (EDTA), 4mL (acceptable, but not preferred)

Red/grey serum separator (SST) vial/tube, 10 mL

  

Lt green/lavender:

Immediately following collection, mix sample thoroughly by gentle inverting 8 - 10 times, to prevent clotting

  

Lt green:

Spin within two (2) hours of sample collection

Red:

  1. Allow sample to clot
  2. Spin
  3. Transfer serum to a False bottom plasma/serum transport vial/tube (AHL), labelled as serum, within two (2) hours of sample collection

Lavender:

  1. Spin
  2. Transfer plasma to a False bottom plasma/serum transport vial/tube (AHL), labelled as EDTA plasma, within two (2) hours of sample collection
  

Lt green PST
