Specimen Collection & Preparation

Specimen Requirements

3.0 mL Whole Blood in a Lavender Top Tube - EDTA


Alternate Specimen

0.3 mL but no more than 0.5 mL Whole Blood in a Lavendar Microtainer


TransportAndStorage

Specimens may be rejected due to blood changes or deterioration resulting from improper storage or age of specimen


Collection Instructions

Mix tube by inversion 5 times

Specimens must not be clotted. Overfilling or underfilling may allow blood to clot.

Test Comments:

If indicated, a Manual Differential will be performed and resulted in place of the Auto Differential. 

IPF Result Comment: IPF is measurement of thromopoietic activity that helps determine the cause of thrombocytopenia (platelet production vs. plt destruction)


PRMC/PVH/PCI: If PLT <50,000, IPF% (Imm PH Fract) will be reflexed.
