Shipping Instructions
2 mL CSF submitted in a sterile plastic leakproof CSF container and 1 mL serum Instructions: Both CSF & serum are required specimens. It is preferred that the collection date and time be the same for both; however it is acceptable for them to be drawn within 48 hours of each other. If no serum is supplied the client will be contacted to confirm the order. CSF collection tube #4 is preferred. Submitting 4th lumbar puncture collection tube minimizes blood contamination. Transport temperature: Refrigerate CSF specimens at 2-8 Degrees Celsius in sterile plastic CSF vial(s) and send refrigerated (cold packs) to the laboratory OR freeze CSF specimens at -20 degrees Celsius and send frozen samples to the laboratory on dry ice.
