Collection Instructions
Specimen: | Whole blood or bone marrow
For whole blood: BOTH a green (sodium heparin, no gel) tube AND a purple (EDTA) tube or Yellow (ACD) tube must be collected. |
Optimal Volume: | Blood: 5 mL in green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND 5 mL purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD) tube.
Bone Marrow: 5 mL aspirate in a dry heparin syringe. |
Minimum\Peds Volume: | Blood: 3 mL in green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND 3 mL purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD) tube. Both tubes requred for testing. 1-3 mL for each tube will be accepted for patients with blood draw limitations.
Bone Marrow: 3 mL aspirate in a dry heparin syringe. |
Container: | Green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND Purple (EDTA) (Dry heparin syringe, Yellow (ACD, Solution A) tube available from laboratory) |
Collection Instructions: | Collect BOTH 5-10 mL in sodium heparin (green) AND 5-10 mL in purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD). The yellow ACD is an alternate to the EDTA tube only.
Collect only bone marrow in a dry heparin syringe. |
Causes for Rejection: | Clotted or frozen sample. |
