Performing Laboratory
Munson Healthcare Laboratories/Mayo Medical LaboratoriesPhysician Office Specimen Requirements
1. Draw blood in a plain, royal blue-top Monoject® trace element blood collection tube(s)-product #8881-307006 (Supply T184).2. Allow the specimen to clot for 30 minutes; then centrifuge the specimen to separate serum from the cellular fraction. Serum must be removed from cellular fraction within 4 hours of specimen collection.
3. Remove the stopper. Carefully pour 1 mL (minimum volume: 0.5 mL) of serum into a 7-mL Mayo metal-free, screw-capped, polypropylene vial (Supply T173), avoiding transfer of the cellular components of blood. Do not insert a pipet into the serum to accomplish transfer, and do not ream the specimen with a wooden stick to assist with serum transfer.
4. See “Metals Analysis - Collection and Transport” in “Special Instructions” for complete instructions.
5. Send specimen refrigerated.
