Blood and serum are required for this test.
Blood
Draw blood in a lavender-top (EDTA) tube(s), and send 3 mL of EDTA whole blood refrigerated.
Note: 1. Specimen may be stored refrigerated up to 56 hours. However, storage >24 hours may result in falsely elevated hematocrit results.
2. Indicate blood on request form.
3. Label specimen appropriately (blood).
Serum
Draw blood in a plain, red-top tube(s) or a serum gel tube(s). Spin down and send 1 mL of serum refrigerated. Avoid exposure of specimen to atmosphere. Protect specimen from light. Avoid hemolysis and lipemia.

2. Indicate serum on request form.
3. Label specimen appropriately (serum).
