    Specimen Requirements
    Collection Instructions

    A fasting specimen is preferred but not required. Collect specimen in an SST (preferred) or red top tube. Immediately after drawing specimen, place the tube on wet ice and allow specimen to clot. Centrifuge at 4 degrees C, aliquot serum into a plastic vial and freeze within 30 minutes of collection. (Note: if a refrigerated centrifuge is not available, it is acceptable to use a room temperature centrifuge, provided the sample is kept on ice before centrifugation, and immediately afterward, the serum is aliquoted and frozen).
