LAB1748

CBC w/DIFF

Performing Lab

UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital Clinical Laboratory - Core
UCHealth Lone Tree Health Center Laboratory
UCHealth Cherry Creek Medical Center Laboratory

Collect

4.0 mL Purple (EDTA whole blood)

Minimum volume: 1.0 mL

Pediatric Collection

At least 0.5 mL whole blood in a 1.0 mL microtainer, purple top (EDTA whole blood).

Unacceptable Conditions

  • Clotted sample
  • Frozen sample
  • Sample not properly identified
  • Incorrect container
  • Insufficient sample volume

Storage/Transport Temperature

Internal: Deliver to lab immediately at ambient temperature.
Offsite: Do not centrifuge. Transport to laboratory at 2-8 degrees C if transport time will exceed 24 hours.

Performed

Daily

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Ambient: 24 hours
Refrigerated: 48 hours
Frozen: Unacceptable

Notes

No differential will be performed if auto differential fails. If differential is needed order test code LAB210 CBC WITH MANUAL DIFF IF AUTO FAILS.

Blood volume of 1.0 mL or less in a 4.0 mL purple top (EDTA whole blood) is unacceptable. Blood volume between 1.0 mL and 2.0 mL in a 4.0 mL purple top (EDTA whole blood) is a suboptimal specimen and results will be reported with this disclaimer: "Low volume sample, results may be unreliable."

 

Performed

Daily

Methodology

Automated cell counter. Test includes hemogram, platelet count, and automated differential.

Reported

Routine requests are reported within 8 hours.
