PROT TOT BF
UCH Clinical Laboratory - Core
1 mL of an acceptable body fluid type, collected in a sterile container. Acceptable fluid types:
For all other body fluid types, contact the Clinical Laboratory-Core to obtain Chemistry Medical Director approval for test performance.
0.2 mL fluid.
Sample not properly identified; incorrect container; insufficient sample volume; synovial fluid, amniotic fluid
Internal: Deliver to lab immediately.
Offsite: Send at 2-8 degrees C.
Daily
Before centrifugation: Ambient, 5 days. Refrigerated, 5 days.
After centrifugation: Ambient, 5 days. Refrigerated, 5 days.
Identify fluid source on requisition. Because of sample viscosity, synovial fluid is an unacceptable sample type.

PROT TOT BF
The reference range for total protein in body fluids is undefined. The result must be integrated into the clinical context and/or compared to a synchronous serum or plasma measurement.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by University of Colorado Hospital. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The laboratory is regulated under CLIA as qualified to perform high-complexity testing. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research.
