Collection Conditions / Other Information:Frozen if received late in laboratory, and tested following day. Should be tested or frozen within 4 hours of specimen collection. Paediatric sample tubes are available from the laboratory for children and difficult to bleed patients. These tubes require 1ml of blood to be taken. Underfilled or overfilled samples will not be processed as the ratio of anticoagulant to blood in the tube will be incorrect. Clotted and grossly haemolysed samples cannot be processed. Haemolysis, Icterus and lipaemia may interfere with testing and so manual methods may be required to gain results.

Referred to Another Laboratory?No
