Collection Instructions

Specimen:Blood
Optimal Volume:5 mL in green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND 5 mL purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD). Both tubes required for testing.
Minimum\Peds Volume:3 mL in green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND 3 mL purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD). 1-3 mL for each tube is acceptable for patients with blood draw limitations.
Container:Green (sodium heparin, no gel) AND Purple (EDTA) (Dry heparin syringe, Yellow (ACD, Solution A) tube available from laboratory)
Collection Instructions:
Collect BOTH 3-5 mL in green (sodium heparin, no gel) tube AND 3-5 mL in purple (EDTA) or yellow (ACD) tube. The yellow (ACD) is an alternate tube to the EDTA tube only.    
Causes for Rejection:Clotted or frozen sample. Incorrect specimen collection tube (anticoagulant).
