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, thoroughly 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)
  

Red serum vial/tube - 5 mL

Lt green plasma separator (PST)

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

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

  

Lt green/Lavender:

Immediately after collection, mix tube thoroughly by gentle inversion, 8 - 10 times, to prevent clotting

  

Lt green (PST):

Spin

Red:

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

Lavender:

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