Shipping Instructions
1 mL frozen plasma collected in a 3.2% sodium citrate (light blue-top) tube Instructions: Draw blood in a light blue-top tube containing 3.2% sodium citrate mix gently by inverting 3-4 times. Centrifuge 15 minutes at 1500 g within one hour of collection. Using a plastic pipette remove plasma taking care to avoid the WBC/platelet buffy layer and place into a plastic vial. Centrifuge a second time and transfer platelet-poor plasma into a new plastic vial(s). Plasma must be free of platelets (<10000/mcl). Freeze immediately and transport on dry ice.
