Expected Turnaround Time

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Container

Lavender-top (EDTA) tube; amber plastic transport tube with amber-top. (If amber tubes are unavailable, cover standard transport tube completely, top and bottom, with aluminum foil. Identify specimen with patient's name directly on the container and on the outside of the aluminum foil.

Collection

Collect blood by venipuncture into a lavender-top tube containing EDTA and mixed immediately by gentle inversion at least six times to ensure adequate mixing. The plasma must be separated and protected from light in an amber transport tube with amber stopper.

Limitations

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
