Specimen

  
Lithium heparin (Li hep) plasma
  
  
1.0 mL
  
0.2 mL
  

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

  
  1. Spin within two (2) hours of sample collection
  2. If the specimen will not reach the Central Laboratory within 12 hours of collection, transfer plasma to a False bottom plasma/serum transport vial/tube (AHL), labelled as Li hep plasma and freeze
