    Reptilase Time
    Reptilase Time 1:1 Mix (if indicated)
  • Spec Type:
    Platelet-poor plasma (PPP)

    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
  • Spec Store Transport:
    Frozen
  • Spec Stability:
    2 hours room temperature (20-30°C)
    4 hours refrigerated (2-8°C)
    2 weeks frozen (-20C) – Do not use frost-free units that undergo repeated freeze/thaw cycles
  • Spec Reject:
    Serum sample
    Nonfrozen or hemolyzed samples
  • Spec Remarks:
    CRITICAL FROZEN – Separate samples must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered
