Invert tube 8-10 times to mix blood with anticoagulant. Process within one hour of collection. Spin for 10 minutes at 1100-1300 g in a swing bucket unit or 15 minutes in a fixed angle. Ship spun Lt Green or Gold tube. Remember to properly label tube with patient name, DOB, test and collect date. Glucose values may be falsely decreased when cells are not separated from plasma/serum within one hour of collection.

Ordering Recommendations
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (or CMP, Current Procedural Terminology Code 80053) is a panel of 14 blood tests that include Albumin, Alkaline phosphatase, ALT (alanine aminotransferase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Calcium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide, Creatinine, Glucose, Potassium, Sodium, Total Bilirubin, Total Protein and a calculation of the eGFR. Each of these tests (except the eGFR) may also be ordered individually.
