New Published Value | Collection Instructions: Specimen must be collected prior to factor replacement therapy. For complete instructions, see Coagulation Guidelines for Specimen Handling and Processing in Special Instructions. Centrifuge, transfer all plasma into a plastic vial, and centrifuge plasma again. Aliquot plasma (1-2 mL per aliquot) into 5 separate plastic vials leaving 0.25 mL in the bottom of centrifuged vial. Freeze plasma immediately (no longer than 4 hours after collection) at -20 degrees C or, ideally, < or =-40 degrees C. Additional Information: Double-centrifuged specimen is critical for accurate results as platelet contamination may cause spurious results. |
