3.0 mL Whole Blood in a Lavender Top Tube - EDTA
0.3 mL but no more than 0.5 mL Whole Blood in a Lavendar Microtainer
24 hours Ambient
48 hours Refrigerated
Specimens may be rejected due to blood changes or deterioration resulting from improper storage or age of specimen
Mix tube by inversion 5 times
Specimens must not be clotted. Overfilling or underfilling may allow blood to clot.
1.5 mL Whole Blood EDTA
MPV: 8.6 - 12.6 fl PRMC/PVH/PCI/PDH: IPF 0.9-7.2%
Platelet: > = 850 th/ul
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.
