• Label all tubes and smears with animal’s name
• All blue top tubes must be filled to capacity for accurate analysis.
• Centrifuge the blue top tube and remove plasma, freeze within 1 hour of collection
• Draw blood into EDTA vacuum tube. Invert sample gently 5-6 times to facilitate mixing and prevent coagulation.
• Prepare 1-2 peripheral blood smears. DO NOT REFRIGERATE
• Refrigeration is not recommended for Protime as it activates Factor VII and invalidates results.
• Serum must be separated from clot within 1 hour of collection.

​·         Analyze specimen within 24-48 hours of collection.

·         Platelet counts are given only if the platelet result from the analyzer is valid. If result is not valid, an estimated platelet range is given. If an actual platelet count is needed, the platelet count will need to be ordered in addition to the CBC.

·         Optimally, refrigerated serum should be analyzed within 3-5 days of collection for most chemistry assays.
