HUP
Separated serum should not remain at room temperature longer than 8 hours. If assays are not completed within
8 hours, serum or plasma should be stored at 2 °C to 8 °C for 72 hours.
Unacceptable Conditions
Hemolyzed specimens; Delay in transport; Incorrect tube type
Processing - HUP
Load the specimen in the automated track. If the specimen has to be manually centrifuged, spin the tube for 7-10 minutes at 1000-1300 X G. Ensure proper separation.
Processing - PAH
Spin 7-10 minutes at 3500 rpms. Bring specimen to Chemistry. Neonates spin specimens 5000 rpms in Micro Centrifuge for 7-10 minutes.
Reference Interval
See individual assays for reference ranges.
Clinical Significance
See clinical significance of each assay in the BMP profile.
