Specimen Type: Platelet-poor plasma

Patient Preparation:

Fasting: 8 hours, preferred but not required

Collection Container/Tube: Light-blue top (3.2% sodium citrate)

Submission Container/Tube: Polypropylene plastic vials

Specimen Volume: 2 mL Platelet-poor plasma in 2 plastic vials, each containing 1 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Specimen must be collected prior to factor replacement therapy.

2. For complete instructions, see Coagulation Guidelines for Specimen Handling and Processing.

3. Centrifuge, transfer all plasma into a plastic vial, and centrifuge plasma again.

4. Aliquot plasma (1 mL per aliquot) into 2 separate plastic vials leaving 0.25 mL in the bottom of centrifuged vial.
