One 4.5 mL green top with gel (PST), (lithium heparin plasma).)Also acceptable: Gold top (SST); Red top, no gel.
Pediatric Collection
At least 0.5 mL whole blood collected in a microtainer, green top with gel, lithium heparin plasma.
Unacceptable Conditions
Gross hemolysis, bilirubinemia, or lipemia; EDTA, citrate, or oxalate anticoagulants; sample not properly identified; incorrect container; insufficient sample volume.
Storage/Transport Temperature
Internal: Deliver to lab immediately at ambient temperature.
Offsite: Centrifuge within 30 minutes of collection. Transport to laboratory at ambient temperature.
Stability (from collection to initiation)
Before centrifugation: 1 hour. After centrifugation: Ambient, Not recommended; Refrigerated, 3 days; Frozen, 3 weeks.
Remarks
Patient should fast for 9-12 hours prior to blood collection when test is performed as part of a lipid panel.
