Cryofibrinogen
Test Name Cryofibrinogen
Specimen Type / Requirements Container Type = 2 Lavender Tops Minimum Volume = 3 mL Plasma (EDTA) Tubes must fill to at least ½ or greater of its vacuum capacity
Specimen Handling Collection Instructions: Collect sample in lavender top (EDTA). Avoid gold top (SST). It is essential for the detection of Cryofibrinogen that the sample be immediately placed in warm water at 37°C until it gets to the laboratory. Write your initials, date and time of collection on the collection label or requisition. Laboratory Staff Instructions: The sample should be kept at 37°C in an incubator for at least two hours to allow clotting. Centrifuged to separate serum or plasma, respectively. A portion of the serum and/or plasma is placed in a calibrated tube and kept refrigerated for 7 days. Rejection Criteria: Specimen not in 37°C warm water. Serum, unlabeled or samples of non sufficient quantity. Transportation: Send sample in warm water (37°C) to core lab as soon as possible.
