Reptilase Time
Reptilase Time 1:1 Mix (if indicated) - Spec Type:
Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) - Spec Container:
Light Blue top (3.2% buffered sodium citrate) tube - Pref Vol:
2.0 mL - Min Vol:
1.0 mL - Fasting:
No - Spec Collect:
- Routine venipuncture
- • NOTE: Traumatic puncture invalidates sample for coagulation studies and necessitates recollection
• Observe proper collection order for coagulation tests; collect tubes for coagulation studies prior to collecting tubes containing clot activators, additives, or anticoagulants
• Fill light blue top tube to stated tube volume
• If coagulation study is only test ordered, collect 1.0 to 2.0 mL blood into tube for discard, then collect light blue top coagulation study tube(s)
• If multiple coagulation studies are requested, submit additional samples for each coagulation test
• Immediately after collection, gently invert tube to mix
- Spec Process:
- Separate plasma from cells immediately
- • Promptly centrifuge 15 minutes
• Carefully transfer plasma portion of sample to separate plastic tube using plastic pipette
• NOTE: Buffy coat layer of sample must be avoided
• Centrifuge transferred plasma sample again to produce platelet-poor plasma (PPP)
• Use second plastic pipette to carefully transfer PPP sample into plastic aliquot tubes
• Immediately freeze PPP samples
