Specimen Requirements
Blood Bank is not able to share tubes with other laboratories. Specimens are unacceptable if clotted, collected in serum separator tube, contaminated, grossly hemolyzed, of inadequate volume, or not properly labeled with patient identification. The phlebotomist must sign the requisition and must initial and date the specimen tube. If patient is not wearing a wristband, see "Blood Type, ABO, Rh, and Antibody Screen, No Wristband."
This test is only for University of Michigan Health System patients wearing an identification wristband. Collect specimen in a pink top tube. The phlebotomist must sign the requisition and must initial and date the specimen tube. Refrigerate and send intact specimens. Specimens are unacceptable if collected in serum separator tube, contaminated, or grossly hemolyzed. Specimens sent for Blood Bank testing cannot be split for use by other laboratories.
