All tests perfomed from Sodium Citrate tubes must be performed by the lab within 4 hours of collection. If transport delayed prepare platelet poor plasma for the sodium citrate tubes.
To produce platelet poor citrated plasma. Specimens should not become warm during centrifugation.
Centrifuge: 1500-2000 Gs. For 20 minutes. The centrifugation time and speed must be determined for each centrifuge. Platelet count on the platelet poor citrated plasma must be <10,000/uL. Double centrifugation is needed for slower centrifuges. Inspect each tube for hemolysis or lipemia. Do not use sticks to check for clots until the plasma has been removed. With plastic transfer pipette, remove 3/4 of the plasma. Do not disturb the plasma near the red cells. Pipet from the top of the plasma portion. Place plasma into plastic tubes. Examine remaining cells for for clots. Cap and freeze the plasma immediately. Label the tube with patient name and indicate 'platelet poor citrated plasma'. Mimimum of 0.5 mL per aliquot. Two aliquots per coagulation assay should be sufficient. Refer to individual test listing. Double centrifugation for slower centrifuges: Recentrifuge the plasma from the first centrifugation for 20 minutes. Remove the top 3/4 of plasma and place into plastic tube with cap. Perform platelet count, if possible. Repeat step until platelet count is <10,000 /uL. Cap and freeze the plasma immediately. Label the tube with patient name and indicate 'platelet poor citrated plasma'. Mimimum of 0.5 mL per aliquot. Two aliquots per coagulation assay should be sufficient. Refer to individual test listing.

Sodium Citrate, platelet poor plasma (from light blue tube) should be frozen
